It's nice to see that not everyone got sucked down the rabbit hole of modern coins as exemplified by privy marked fake Morgan and Peace Dollars. Those that went with Moderns did so with good taste in design, avoiding the cartoon characters and revisionist history commemoratives. Great gold sets, and those hearldic medals, what a great artistic achievement. This is what coin collecting should be about.

@Zoins Very neat love token. What denomination is it?

Thanks! It's a small piece. It's a dime. Wish it was larger, but I take what I can get!
I would guess 90% of love tokens are on dimes. Very neat coin.

I did some very minimal editing to the seller photos to straighten them and make them look less washed out.
From the photos it looks like an absolutely flawless, brilliant coin.

Saw this and put the opening bid in! And won! .99. Dang near forgot but I have a habit of bidding on things that end at odd hours. Early Saturday morning is usually good as is party hours of after 10pm Friday and Saturday nights 😉
