Ba-Ga Maidi Collection. KM#720.3, Strasbourg mint, Charles X. PCGS sees this as the finest known example and for sure, the quality is almost that of a modern production. Luxurious turquoise-blue and cinnamon-purple lines the obverse left margin and presents a splashy appearance through most of the reverse inner periphery. Numerous adjustment marks may have played into grade consideration, but this amazingly lustrous coin will command maximum interest.

I have to admit, this one won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but you will have to admit that it’s pretty darn cool! The center has a precious orangey marquise coral cabochon. There is a freeform, bezel set fossilized ammonite stone and the piece is completed with a elongated cabochon identified as rutilated quartz. None of the stones have indications of polymers or dyes, Stone Group Laboratories report #240827R-SJ. This piece has a pin on the back and also opens so it can be added to chain. Dimensions 4" x 1.5", 26.2 dwt.
