<p>[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 5405050, member: 102103"]I usually see dime-sized love tokens retail for about $10 regardless of the coin type and the quality of the artwork. I believe there are love token collecting communities where you might get a better idea as to which types command a premium over melt. I know certain types (such as pictures of ships or buildings) have their own enthusiasts and can command a premium if you find the right buyer. Love tokens are art, and unique, but being of relatively low value, it's not worth the time for a typical coin dealer to try and find a specialized collector to get a few dollars more.</p><p><br /></p><p>My love token collection. The 1711 Queen Anne shilling is one of my favorite coins of any kind, even though it's engraved. I have no idea how to even estimate a fair value for it.
