If they are done well Love tokens can be very nice items. At my local club meatting a couple months ago a member showed me his nearly complete set of Indian head cents where every piece was a love token. Most were just average but there were about four of them where the the engraving work was just breathtaking. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   09-02-2009, 09:45 PM   #4 (permalink) mcarney1173 Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Location: Philadelphia Posts: 377 My Mood: Blog Entries: 2 Quote: Originally Posted by Conder101 The first is a piece of junk, the third is nothing special, but the second piece is acually rather nice and I think it probably went cheap.

The third bracelet is so heavy, I think there'd be serious wrist issues!   09-02-2009, 09:52 PM   #5 (permalink) ldhair Coin Collector     Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,706 Number 2 is a really cool piece.

I would guess that depends completely on the coin rarity and condition. Anywhere from 50 cents to many thousands of dollars.   09-03-2009, 01:31 AM   #10 (permalink) BadThad Lincoln Cent Crazed     Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 1,308 I think the second one is cool, some artwork involved in it. It also has a lot of character, somebody went through a lot to make it. __________________ Lincoln Lover! http://verdigone.com   09-03-2009, 02:01 AM   #11 (permalink) Goldstone Digging for Gold     Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 777 Don't think any of those coins are cameo? __________________ Goldstone   09-03-2009, 04:44 AM   #12 (permalink) randygeki Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Flagstaff, Arizona Posts: 2,593 My Mood: lol __________________ My old coins (really old)   09-03-2009, 08:54 AM   #13 (permalink) Drusus Pecunia non olet     Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Houston Posts: 3,055 My Mood: very cool!! __________________ Pecunia in arbotis non crescit   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
