    I received this coin from a friend who I can't name for privacy reasons. As you can see, it's an 1882 seated dime that is Monogramed but I can't read the initials.
    Comments and your two cents matter......What do you think? :D

    Love tokens are fun. Coincidentally, I just posted a ton of them in the "Virtual 7070" thread. I used to actively collect them. I still have a few, on my trademark "Holey Coin Hat".

    I think the monogram photo is upside down. Hard to read that way.

    You're right. It is some combination of H, T, and W on Sal's coin. Fortunately I can read upside-down. ;)

    Fretboard's (very nice) gold love token is D, F, and P.

    When describing monogrammed pieces, I just list the initials in alphabetical order, because sometimes you can't tell what order they're supposed to be in.

    Close examination of this coin showed it to have been holed shortly after it was minted. Plus, it appears to have been purposely selected because the orientation has both sides lines up so that it would be correct whichever way it was hanging. That is a rare feature on ancients. My 2000 year old pendant.

    Another shot of the holed ancient.
