<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 26400417, member: 86815&quot;]I reckon it is a merchant stamp because it is made with an engineered punch and normally love tokens would be engraved with some flourish to show effort and endearment. Some traders would do this once silver is proved as there were a lot of forgeries after the great recoinage. If I was his loved one ( presuming he was a man). I would wonder how many stamps he had and was he in mass production! </p><p>For the benefit of [USER=25270]@Hiddendragon[/USER] , I&#039;m 90% certain that this is another scarce variety you have picked up which features an unbarred &quot;H&quot; in the HONI on the reverse. 40 years ago I specialised in George III shillings and&nbsp; I had a full run of them including patterns but a life event resulted in the loss of them all. Had I been able to hold on to some of them such as the Dorrien &amp; Magens pattern, that would have been a better life changing event! </p><p>It&#039;s great to see such coins surfacing which have clearly been cherished by collectors over hundreds of years and not melted down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
