<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 1119169, member: 5833&quot;]It is called French wire (could be other names I&#039;m not familiar with), very fine coiled wire.&nbsp; You snip off a bit from a longer piece &amp; thread the bead cord through &amp; then double back with it after you run it through the attachment ring of the clasp.&nbsp; It&#039;s one way off finishing ends, not exclusive to pearls.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a Roman one, driving me nuts.&nbsp; These dratted Caesars all look alike &amp; they tend to be marked with a bunch of abbreviations of 2 - 4 letters.&nbsp; Unfortunately, all I feel at all confident about on this one is the IMP (Imperator) at the beginning &amp; the AUG (Augustus) at the end, both stock titles on most Roman Imperial coins, so no help.&nbsp; All the stuff in between...?&nbsp; Think after IMP is an A, not II, &amp; REX is not a title they used.&nbsp; Right before AUG looks like IUS to me.&nbsp; Claudius, Tiberius, Antoninus Pius all bombing out.&nbsp; The portrait looks like any number of them.&nbsp; AAUUGGHH!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]211352[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t see anyone bothering to design a fake coin when there are so many genuine ones to copy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
