Are these Rare at all to find?
This one I hv looks like whoever had it before, put a hole as if it was used for a necklace. I've never seen anything like it before and Im willing to keep it awhile longer yet..

The symbol is a double-headed eagle for reference. A lot of older coins used this.

Yeah. It doesn't have much value to begin with. A lot of the coins that don't have value today are used for necklaces/pendants for the "boho" look. It was more popular in the 90's and early 2000's though. I don't see many people using or selling coins for jewelry these days.

Here is an example:

This look was kind of taken from the Middle East/Indian women. A lot of times coins were used as charms by belly dancers too.
