1964 Denver Penny Earrings with Turquoise dyed Magnesite and Coral Beads - Copper wires and accents. Nothing is more appropriate for a woman's Anniversary, Birthday, or other Commemoration - or a memorial for a beloved loved mother, grandma, or aunt.
Coins are shiny, and slightly cupped, I clean them, stamp a hole in them and dip them in a sealer that will keep them lovely for a long time. I make my ear wires of 100% copper. If you need sterling silver, I have an add-on you can purchase here on Etsy. I also include a rubber stopper so they can't accidentally fall off!
Need a year you don't see? Convo me, I have many years from 1910-1939 and most years from 1940 to present in stock and can get the earlier years with some notice. I also gift wrap free of charge, convo me the event and I will package it appropriately.
** These are jewelry and have only sentimental value as an item minted in the year stamped. They are no longer considered collectible coins.
