Was offered a stack of early 1980s sterling silver rounds a few days back.

Almost turned my nose up to them. Sterling? Who needs it.

Then I looked a little closer and realized they were actually coins, with denominations. And they were in beautiful condition.

And then I realized they had a mint/privy mark on them that I recognized and thought: How cool is that?

Turns out all from this series are pretty rare, and some are very valuable. So I scooped up most of the 30 or so pieces. Recognize the mint/privy mark?

I also finally added a piece to my sterling silver beer mug/tankard collection:

Wonder how your going to drink out of that tankard
I picked up this love token this week. Host coin is a liberty head half eagle.

Thanks . It’s also interesting that the date on the coin is in the 1900’s while most I see are from the mid to late 1800’s.

Nice! I didn’t notice that.

Gold love tokens are not common.... mostly because gold represented more value during the time love tokens were popular. Jewelry for the wealthy... Cheers, RickO

Cool love token!
