    1854 O Seated Liberty and 1925 Stone Mountain Half Dollars - on necklace -- Plated for wear as necklace
    First the Seated Liberty Half Dollar:
    Obverse: Liberty Seated with a Heraldic Shield and Staff
    Reverse: Forward Facing Heraldic Eagle with Arrows and an Olive Branch
    Seated Half Dollar with Arrows (1854-1855) - The Arrows and Rays design additions were used to denote weight changes that had created some striking difficulties for both half and quarter dollar seated issues. The rays emanating from the reverse eagle were eliminated from the design, but the arrows on either side of the date remained to signify the changes in weights. This type continued for two years when the design resumed as originally issued using the new reduced silver composition. The two year type issue was struck in Philadelphia, New Orleans and in a small quantity San Francisco.
    Second the Stone Mountain Half Dollar:
    Obverse: Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on horseback
    Reverse: Eagle and caption (see below)
    Per Wikipedia: The Stone Mountain Memorial half dollar was an American fifty-cent piece struck in 1925 at the Philadelphia Mint. Its main purpose was to raise money on behalf of the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association for the Stone Mountain Memorial near Atlanta, Georgia. Designed by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, the coin features a depiction of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on the obverse and the caption: "Memorial to the Valor of the Soldier of the South" on the reverse.
    These have been plated and mounted as a souvenir necklace on a 13", 12K gold chain marked . They can be freed from their mounts but I don't know if the plating can be removed.
