thanks for all you input ladies! Do you think they are worth the $100 or so I would spend having them appraised?

There can be strands likes yours that can be worth a very good sum of money... I will let some of the ladies that know a little more about them help you decide if you should get them appraised or not....

If you google coin pearls, I found a couple and I'm sure there's more - -

Here's one for $99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PINK-30-Genu...40#ht_500wt_864

And another for $155 http://compare.ebay.com/like/260296936917?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

Here's one from Sam's Club http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/produc..._sku=sku1197297

Yep... these are totally coin pearls... I'm watching a precious world of pearls show on JTV right now and she is showing coin pearls in the same color as yours....

They are referred to as coin pearls.....I have a stunning set with matching leverbacks and they feel wonderful on!

Just to echo what the other ladies pointed out, those are definitely coin pearls. My MIL is GIA certified in pearls and she works with Coin pearls alllllll the time. As for cost - If the amount they were originally valued at is higher than the 100 dollars it would cost to have them appraised again, I say go for it. However, I don't honestly think they are as valuable as some other pearls, so, you know... caveat emptor or whatever. crazy

I adore pearls and spent some time digging around with them in the past few years, and while they are lovely, I do not believe it would be worth your $100 to get them appraised. While beautiful, the ones you have are not exactly uncommon (in my searches anyway), unless they are saltwater or you know of some other unique characteristic they possess. Just my opinion though, and certainly not a professional one, but I do love me some pearls! laugh FH doesn't like them though, so I won't ever get any of those from him.

I agree! Freshwater coin pearls are very pretty, but don't hold the same value as saltwater pearls. Coin pearls can be bought from $100 up to around $500 depending on their size, and whether or not they're blemished.

Do you remember who did the appraisal that you had originally? Was it from the company that sold the pearls?
