    I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a "liberty seated dime" on the back, and a large caligraphy M with swirls around the edges on the front. I have heard of "trial coins", and was wondering if this could be one. Or if this is just some sort of token. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :p

    does it have a hole punched in it?

    i have a seated dime "love token". on the reverse there is initials engraved artistically.

    could you post a picture?

    Panda has it right - you have a love token. It is a major alteration to the coin, but love tokens are a collectable in their own right.

    Of course, photos would help us confirm what you have.

    Yep, it is a love token. I know people who collect love tokens. Sounds like a cool piece. Post pics if you can.

    Some of these have really great art work on them.
    A search on Ebay for love tokens will bring up a few.

    I Posted a Pic of The Coin!!!

    I am adding a picture of this "Love Token". I just won this on an auction site. That is why I wanted to know any info anyone may have had for me first. I belong to a site where we use credits to win items.

    thanks for answering my post ;)

    Raven,

    Can you take the coin out of the 2X2 and retake the photos? The glare off the plastic makes it impossible to see the coin.
