    Found this paperweight the other day and figured it would be fairly easy to date, etc but so far I've had no luck.

    The "beading" is internal

    The edge of the "coin" reads
    SESQUICENTENNIAL ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTION ON THE UNITED STATES
    1787-1937

    No chips or scratches. Has some well stuck dirt that I haven't cleaned yet.

    Bingo, I think we have a winner cause I can find that "coin" but never found it in a paperweight. Not being a craft type person I didn't even think to follow that path when looking for it.

    Yup, I have some glass forms like this that you can use to create a paperweight.
