The new "Coolest Coin in my Collection"
Nearly everything I buy is for resale, but every now and then something appears that I just have to have, for keeps. That was the case for this Seated Dollar love token, something I've never seen before. I'm assuming it was made to commemorate the marriage of Miss Randall to Mr. Sibley, back in 1900 or so.
Pretty neat, eh?

Matthew 7:24-27New International Version (NIV)
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”Andy Lustig

That's pretty much a "10" on my 1 to 10 scale. I'd sure keep it also.

I would agree. OP estimated 1900 but I don't see where that comes in. I expect the event was in the date on the coin. (Also, names could be first names?)
And a great coin, btw.....

That's a remarkable piece!

The coin had circulated a while before it was made into a love token. This is why I guessed 1900 or so when the gift was given.

However, it is also possible that it was made later as an anniversary gift and the wedding was in 1872. Everything is only speculation though.

Nice...I'd say it's worth at least the price as it would be without the "mods"
