I happened to find a National Park Quarter, from the National Park of American Samoa, last week. This Quarter was very distinctive, with Fruit Bats on the front.

I have wrapped coins for people in the past; Pieces of Eight, Silver Dollars, State Quarters, and other random antique coins, turning them into pendants. Antique buttons are another pendant possibility.

A personal example was when I found an old, tarnished Quarter in the gravel of a Seafood Restaurant near Jacksonville, last year. It was a 1977 Quarter, the year I married Bonnie. This Quarter was probably dropped in the late 70’s. I cleaned the coin just enough that the high points were more enhanced than the lower background. This coin had a heavy brown tarnish, covering its’ surface. Patina? or Grunge?

Savvy Rockhounds always watch the ground. By nature, they habitually look down. That’s how I found this Anniversary Quarter. For 45 years, Thousands of people walked right over this coin. I dubbed it my parking lot quarter.

I make simple Unisex pendants that do not detract from the coins (the coins are always the star, not my wire wrapping). As you can see from this National Park of American Samoa Quarter, neat and simple is my goal.

Any coin can be made into a pendant, be it gold or silver. I use 14k, double gold fill wire, or tarnish resistant Argentium Sterling. Wrapping a coin is not destructive, and protects any coin.

The wire bundle, encircling the coin, is taller that the coin, as are the wires that are pulled over the coins. There is never any guarantee that if you drop a coin, it will come out unscathed, but your chances are much better if your coin is wire wrapped.

Did you ever think that your valuable (Nostalgic or collectable) coin, could be made into jewelry? Do you have a treasured coin from overseas travel? Do you have, like most people, a small collection of coins that have good memories? Did your grandparents give you a coin you might want made into a pendant? How about a State Quarter, for someone that has moved to another State, or a Quarter featuring a favorite National Park. What a great little gift!

The cost varies, depending on the precious metal you choose, the shape, and the size of your coin.

I treat all these coins as it they were my own. I base my business on honesty and integrity, and I know how much these collectables mean to you. If you need a special coin gift or personal pendant, call us.
