MR Cursed coins and Sparrow ring

[Patattack]

I've been looking around for a Pirates of the Caribbean cursed coin necklace for a while, but I haven't actually gotten around to purchasing one yet. I recently realized that MR sells two different versions: one from Curse of the Black Pearl and one from Dead Man's Chest. Does anyone here have any idea if there is a difference between the two? I don't expect that there is, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

EDIT: I have another question - is the MR Jack Sparrow ring worth getting? I've been cruising eBay for Sparrow costume elements, and there is apparently another version of the ring made by Disney rather than MR. The auctions for these ones claim to be more screen-accurate, mostly due to the stone being clear rather than opaque, and more recessed into the ring than the MR version. Also, they have the added bonus of being made in several sizes, as opposed to the MR one. So my question is this: is it worth paying $40 instead of $20 to get the Disney ring? Does anyone know approximately what size the MR ring is?

Doubt it... probably just a promotional thing

I haven't seen recent pics of either, but I have one from when they were first released, and it has the screen-accurate chain and twisted wire clasp from the first PotC film.

The only pics I've seen of recent versions have a leather thong that the coin is suspended from. I can only assume that the leather version is from the second film.

It's been quite a while since I've seen versions around with the actual chain - maybe I've just missed them.

Yeah, the Black Pearl coins aren't as common in my searches, presumably because they've just replaced them with the Dead Man's Chest coins.

Thanks for the tips, folks.

I have a 2nd movie MR version it too has a chain. That is correct to the 1st movie. I also have a screen accurite coin. It(the screen coin) is just a little bigger and it is a differance color. But for the money the MR coin is really nice.

All right, I think I'm gonna go for the MR one - I s'pose it doesn't make any difference which one I get, at least.

I got the Elizabeth Swann Necklace Replica. It was $14. It is more brass color then gold.My screen accurite one is gold plated. They did a 24 kt gold plate set it is $34 at amazon. com. But it doesn't look like you get the chain.
Hope that helps

the MR skull ring is approx 10-15$
the other disney skull ring is approx 35$, and it is more accurate, the stone is not tall like the MR and you can get sizes. or you can buy a fan made one. i saw one on ebay few days ago

So is it worth the few extra bucks?

(By the way, the prices I said were approxmated, and including shipping.)
