    "925" Signet Ring - couple of wheat's

    Did the morning chores and decided to head off to a favorite park of mine. Spent about 2 hours there, no silver coins but a nice 925 initial ring.

    Two wheat's, one a 1957, the other a no date.

    Short and sweet, thanks for reading and HH everyone.

    Nice ring, Al. Ask Brian to find out from his friend Jim A. from MA. There was a thimble that was dug with scripted letters. I think they researched the time frame for the item... but the letters were thin and more ornately scripted so I figure your ring would be newer. The love tokens from the seated coins have had more similar scripting to your ring. Isaac's seated I do believe had a date and the letters were on the back. At least I think this would help... seeing as 1868 is the date when the sterling standard was adopted and STERLING and 925 were stamped. Just around the time of the seated coins. Quite a relevant tidbit...
