I've been meaning to share these - neat little group of love tokens

I stumbled upon these a couple of months ago in one of my eBay searches, the auction described them not as love tokens but as "artistic dimes," which allowed me to snag the group for a very reasonable price. I believe all but the coin on the bottom left were created by the same artist. How unusual is it to have a group like this from a single person?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

what did you pay for the lot?

Also, looks like the 1853 had a clasp or something soldered on the obverse at one point.
Nice collection!
edited to correct booboos.
