[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 3723789, member: 102103"]OK, here's some love tokens. First is a Queen Anne Shilling, 1711. They didn't flatten out one side of the coin, but instead used some open space on the obverse to engrave two sets of initials. Next photos are both sides of various loose love tokens, with the reverse flattened and engraved with usually just one set of initials, probably that of the woman who was the intended recipient. I like how cheaply one can get older US types as a love token compared to an intact specimen. Most are $10 or less. Not much interest to a general collector, but they have their own charm.
