Gold aurei coins of the first twelve Caesars mounted in a 19th century bracelet. Inspired by the 2nd century writer Suctonius who write biographies of the first twelve Caesars some made this bracelet out of real ancient coins.Featured are on the first bracelet are Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. While on the second bracelet are Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian.
Here are some random ancient coins.
Royal Badges - Official coins and medals of various kingdoms.
Silver tetradrachm with the head of Adriadne on one side (not pictured)and the labyrinth in Knossos.
From Gortyn, Crete, 2nd century B.C.
Silver tetradrachmwith the head of Athena on one side
and the owl in wreath.
From Athens, 135-134 B.C.
I love the owl design because it reminds me of the movie Clash of the Titans.
Ptolemy III coins from Thebes hoard 246-222 B.C.
Most likely from the same hoard as the previous image.The Egyptian section is very dark and no flash photography or video is allowed so I could not get a good image.One thing with Egyptian coins were there thickness. They look like chocolate candies, Peppermint Patties to be exact.
I recommend visiting The Met but give yourself time the place is large and most of the coins are in corners and dead spots.
I took hundreds of pictures from armors to paintings to statues to fully recreated rooms but this one was one of my favorites.
The stained-glass dome was part of Manhattan home circa 1904 and possibly made by Tiffany Studios. Something about it was just very appealing. Sure it has nothing to do with coins or currency but everyone can enjoy its simple beauty.
17 dollars worth, for Comments/Questions click here.:
Great stuff there... this is why I want to take up metal detecting.
Isn't their a British law that anything you find has to be turned over to the government. It seems a bit unfair, you do all the work and can't keep the prize.
Yes, virtually everything has to be declared as "treasure" and assessed. Most of the time, you end up with a fraction of it's value, and I understand a lot of people sell their finds via eBay "under the counter". :-(
The antique coin bracelets on the first image are beautiful! Would have made a perfect birthday gift for my mother today...
But I think I'll rather stick to tea and hugs instead - I'm sure it'll make her at least as happy as such classy jewellery :)
It is possible to recreate that bracelet using real gold coins but that may cost a bit. Hugs are equally as precious.

I will add some of your coins are not often seen at auction and may bring 3x the value but they also have few collectors since most people just want "melt" coins.
I recently bought a 1851 American gold dollar. It is uncirculated and has a few small marks on the back. Also it seems like there may have been a small object on the coin while it was struck or maybe a small die crack. Do you know what it's worth? I am also thinking about buying an 1875-S 20 cent coin that is very worn with very little detail for $50. what is your opinion?

--Gold is so soft the impressions are easily made but either way no extra value, about $400.00
1875-S 20 cent coin that is very worn with very little detail for $50
--It sounds right in that shape as long as the date and the S are visible.
