Gem encrusted sterling silver coins

[Ouch]

What's everyone's views regarding this type of coins? I know I started off by saying I would never buy numismatics but now there's some which are proving quite tempting.

I don't know much about numismatics, so I wouldn't buy any for investment / flipping. However, I may buy one as a keeper, if the design was particularly appealing to me....maybe something like an egyptian or mayan inspired piece with well-placed ruby & emeralds.

What coins have you been eyeing off?

If someone could capture the beauty of this onyx-and-diamond panther bracelet into a coin....mmmmmm!

Yeah not thinking of them as an investment or to flip them. Just something to cheer things up for the long hard nights when the price of silver has dropped 50% and pamps aren't as shiny anymore.

The bracelet owned by Wallis Simpson, whose love affair with Edward VIII led to his abdication, has sold for a world record 4.5 million at auction.
