United States 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle Coin in Jewelry Pendant Setting

This item is a 1/4 ounce gold American Eagle bullion coin, minted by the United States Mint. The reverse side is visible, featuring the 'Family of Eagles' design by Miley Busiek, which depicts a male bald eagle returning to a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. The coin is struck in 22-karat gold (.9167 fineness) and bears the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,' 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' and '1/4 OZ. FINE GOLD~10 DOLLARS.' The coin has been mounted into a yellow gold jewelry pendant setting, secured by four structural prongs that overlap the coin's rim. The setting includes a decorative bale attached to a gold-toned rope chain. Regarding condition, the coin shows signs of moderate wear consistent with its use as jewelry, specifically visible surface scratches and minor abrasions on the high points of the eagle's wings and the field. The mounting into a bezel often impacts numismatic value due to potential rim damage from the prongs, though it retains its intrinsic bullion value. The strike is well-defined, and the luster is typical for a circulated bullion piece turned into a personal accessory.
