It is glorious. Do you think there was a pin or a stud or something in the center of the reverse?

Don't think so. That would have left more traces, I suspect. I think the flatness of the shield must be more related to the strike, and if there was once a mount attached, it would more likely have been somewhere on the rim/edge, though I haven't seen traces there, either. But I haven't taken my loupe to it yet.

So you're telling us you got this Love Token for ONE DOLLAR?
You know what this means, don't you? What goes around comes around...
YOU SUCK!
And Lo, the YOU SUCK award has now come full circle, though it took more than a decade.
Coin is here. Much nicer in hand. I'll make a feeble attempt at rephotographing it soon.
Celebratory giveaways soon, too.
