United States 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle Pendant

This item is a United States Gold American Eagle coin, specifically the 1/4 ounce denomination, mounted in a four-prong yellow gold coin bezel to serve as a pendant. The reverse of the coin is prominently displayed, featuring the 'Family of Eagles' motif designed by Miley Busiek, which depicts a male eagle carrying an olive branch to a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. The text on the reverse includes 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the weight/denomination '1/4 OZ. FINE GOLD~10 DOLLARS'. The coin shows a bright, lustrous yellow-gold finish consistent with its 22-karat composition (91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper). The bezel is a simple, polished gold frame with four secure prongs that wrap around the coin's edge, seemingly designed to keep the coin intact without permanent alteration like soldering. The pendant is attached to a yellow gold rope-style chain via an integrated tapered bail. Condition-wise, the coin exhibits minor surface abrasions and light scratches typical of handled bullion, and the bezel shows some small dings and signs of wear along the outer rim. The date of the coin is not visible from this side, but this specific reverse design was used by the U.S. Mint from 1986 through the first half of 2021. High-quality craftsmanship is evident in the sharp strike of the coin and the secure construction of the jewelry mounting.
