I can hear Taps being played

 

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.

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.

 

The third bracelet is so heavy, I think there'd be serious wrist issues!

 

Number 2 is a really cool piece. I would have bought it.

 

Yes what a waste, they are truely dead coins.

Well those would work well for folks who collect holed coins, I know a few who focus on these.

 

my sentiments exactly what is the going rate for a slabbed coin with a hole though it!!!:eat:

 

I would guess that depends completely on the coin rarity and condition.

Anywhere from 50 cents to many thousands of dollars.

 

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.

 

Don't think any of those coins are cameo?

 

lol

 

very cool!!
