Merged the three separate threads about this coin into one.
Oops
Merged all the posts from the two duplicate threads into one.
Lovely, especially sans prongs. Has all the eye appeal of my ex-NGC 64 above. Maybe even more, though my coin had some more luster than the pix...
@joeinslw - as mentioned, please post your question in its own thread instead of in someone else's discussion where it is irrelevant to the topic...
Aha. The "filled in" part was what threw me off, since that's my first time seeing such. Interesting.
A gold "eagle" was $10.00 from 1792-1933. So quarter-eagles were $2.50 pieces, half-eagles $5.00, and double-eagles $20.00. All were a pretty...

I haven't forgotten my promise to submit this story to The Numismatist. Well, I hadn't totally forgotten, despite sitting on my hands and...

Back to the "hatching chick" motif again, for a moment. It is not an uncommon theme on 19th century christening tokens, though I've seen more with...
What drew me back into love tokens was the recent surprise gift of this piece, done on a 1798/7 16-stars dime! This one's not about the engraving...
