#1 – I am not sure what the tiny 1884 holed/worn-through charm coin is. I showed it to fractional gold specialist Russel Augustin at the FUN show in January, who said he thought it was a genuine gold California souvenir token (not a fractional coin). All I'm sure of is that despite its tiny size, it has enough "palm feel" weight to make me believe it is gold. Did I mention that it's tiny?
#2 – An 1853 Type 1 Liberty Head $1 gold piece with a lump of something that is rather crudely attached. It's not a bracket, but a lump. Maybe it's a bracket that was snipped off? The are also 4 deep, mostly vertical, parallel, arc-shaped scratches that start at Liberty's eye/nose and extend out toward the star at 10 o'clock. They don't show up well in the photo; sorry.
#3 – An 1854 small head Indian Princess $1 gold with loop attached. Looks cleaned to me. Plus, the denomination numeral 1 on the reverse has a tooled or stamped circle around it.
Payment preferred by personal check. Return for any reason if not happy.

When in doubt, don't.

Yes, that's some kind of solder where an old pinback attachment of some kind used to be.

If you invert it, that looks like the letter "C". Note the serif. As such, it appears you have a love token, so the fact that it's cleaned and has a loop attached shouldn't detract much from it, as love tokens go.
Neat stuff.
