<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3644715, member: 10461&quot;]What drew me back into love tokens was the recent <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-got-an-interesting-private-message-on-collectors-universe-last-week.342499/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-got-an-interesting-private-message-on-collectors-universe-last-week.342499/">surprise gift</a> of this piece, done on a 1798/7 16-stars dime!</p><p><br /></p><p>This one&#039;s not about the engraving (though that&#039;s competent enough), or the backstory, but the fact that it&#039;s on a rare host coin. This is the only 18th century US silver coin I have ever owned, or am likely to own, and as of this typing, I believe the VG price of such a coin (were it undamaged) would be in the neighborhood of $1,300-1,400. My kind partner in the deal sold it to me for <i>one dollar!</i> So that really counts as a generous gift.</p><p><br /></p><p>The date is attributable by the fact that it has the 16-stars Heraldic Eagle reverse, which was only used on the 1798/7 dime.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need to take better pictures of it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/nw/j376idggcnqo.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/gh/sinnry1meale.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
