<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3210133, member: 92655"]Welcome to CT. Looking forward to your photo. It was common in those days to smooth one side of a coin. Cents being most common. And into the smoothed surface a person would engrave a sentiment. Often words of love. These are referred to as Love tokens and are quite collectible. I could see maybe the reverse being smoothed in anticipation of a love token engraving and perhaps something changed along the way and the piece was left unfinished. Unlikely that a coin left the mint with only one side struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
