    I made this purchase last week while on vacation. I paid twenty dollars for this beautiful love token, made from a 1863 seated dime in AU condition. The cool thing about this love token is that it includes an engraved date, initials, and is wearable with the original silver clasp. I also bought a beautiful coin silver 1780's silver spoon for $10, pretty much melt value. Very nice antique shop!

    Damn! I just realized that the 1863 dime is a key date! Kind of sad that date was used, but then again, it was modern coinage at the time.

    Worth a few thousand dollars if not used turned into love token, not sure if it is worth anything as a coin now, very cool as a love token, especially being a key date in great condition.

    Nevermind! I did some more looking, I am now certain that it is an 1873.
