Vintage 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar in Peridot Green Studded Bezel with Chain

This 1921 U. S. Morgan Silver Dollar is one of a collection of 12 we recently obtained indirectly from an antique dealer desiring to clean out inventory. It is currently (18 Jun 2011) available for sale on on ArtFire.com. Others (both Morgan and Peace) are available at our retail location on Mondays.
This one has a silver tone finish on the bezel. According to our coin dealer friend and also a jewelry metalsmith, the bezel and chain are not sterling silver. The chain appears to be a type of stainless steeel. I could not find any maker's mark on the bezel. The peridot green stones (rhinestones) are quite nicely "cut", but of unknown material.

This is a lovely piece of vintage jewelry.
When available, additional pictures will be placed on our FaceBook page.
