Wanted: Love Tokens

Showtime · January 31, 2007 10:13PM

I'm looking to buy love tokens preferably on seated coinage but I'll consider anything. PM me if you have any to show me. Thanks.

Out of curiousity... what are love tokens?? Thanks, Cheers, RickO

If you don't know you don't have any

The are coins that have been defaced on one (or both sides) and have usually initials or a name engraved into them. The standard love token is a seated dime but they exist on all types of coins.

Hi I just bought an 1834 Bust dime love token which I would grade Fine, will have scans for you probably tomorrow.

Thanks, I have never seen those before... not even at coin shows... or at least did not recognize them. Cheers, RickO
