🥇 BANNER Amazing Pendent

[Bill C]

Last week while we were out camping in northern Nevada, My two boy's and I decided to go metal detecting around some old hunting camps, I didn't expect to find much of anything out in the area but decided to give it a try. I found a few clad coins, one 1956 wheat penny, and a bunch of bullets. At one of the sites that I detected I found a nice gold toned ST. Christopher Medal. The best find that I came across was along one of the roads that I had seen an old dump site. I decided to try my luck around the dump, I didn't find anything at the dump, but I detected my way back to the road and I found an amazing little 14k gold pendant with 22 small Diamonds and an 1851 Liberty Head gold dollar in it.

Congrats on a Fantastic and unexpected Find !!
Your coin looks to be in a High Grade state,
I read that the first wear point is the wreath tips.
I can't see if there is a MM on yours, it would be at the bottom of wreath.
Made for only 6 years, and released along with the first US $20 Golds,
triggered by the discovery of Sutters Mill Gold in '49.
the reverse of these had weak strikes, here's an MS example from the Philad Mint:

Big Congrats! HH Herbie.

Beautiful finds for sure. Congratulations!! Now I'm thinkin' that St. Christopher might have lead you to that gold coin pendant that's loaded with diamonds! It must be so heavy that it wore through the loop on top. Good job boys!!
