Here it is...my BEST find EVER...set in 14K...just as promised

[silverfreak]

Here is the link to the history, story and meaning behind this seemingly simple Mercury dime...in case you didn't catch my post the first time. If you didn't see the post...you wouldn't have any idea as to the meaning it has to me.

Many of you responded to the post...pm'ed me...etc...and suggested I have the coin mounted in a pendant to wear always. Well....I agreed 100%...and told you then that I was going to do just that. I finally got it back from the jeweler yesterday...and am very pleased with it. He did a wondeful job creating it. Funny thing about the loop is ...that my chain is so big...we had to use a wedding band for the loop...otherwise we couldn't get the pendant to slide on it. He laser soldered the diamond cut wedding band directly to the hand made 14k bezel...so this is truly a unique custom piece made especially for my priceless dime.
If any of you meet me and hunt with me next season....you'll see it around my neck...guaranteed....'cause it will be with me always.
Thank you all for viewing and sharing this with me.

Nice story and the mount looks very nice too.

This doesn't compare with your story but it's funny how finds can sometimes be almost a miracle of sorts.

Years ago (early 80's) I was trying to decide if I should go to college. I was detecting a park and digging lots of wheats and indians at the time. I got a signal and before digging it I asked for a sign that I should go to school.

I dug a long odd piece of metal. Suddenly I realized it was an old type piece like they used in the old typeset printing presses.

I thought how in the world could this be a sign?

Then the thought came to me to ask that if it has my first initial on it this will be my sign to enroll.

I cleaned it off and there it was---my first initial in capital font.

I still have it but for obvious reasons I don't share this story much.

By the way, I graduated and the education totally changed my entire life for the better.

Great find you have there and yes--miracles do happen.
