yes LOT 658 1798 S-154 R4+ Large 8, Style I Hair 4/X . Mostly glossy olive brown and steel. Reasonably smooth but there are traces of fine roughness near the rims on both sides. The date is clear as are most of the legends. This piece is engraved on the reverse in script Sept 2nd 1872 with 11m at the top. Maybe represents love, death, or some other significant event in a person’s life. Perhaps the passing of a child at 11 months of age. Neatly holed at the top for suspension.
