Post Your Love Token Coins

Unfortunately, their line is at its end as there are no children to pass it on to. It took a lot of research, we spent about a month or so on it, but totally worth it! And agreed, I would never sell it if I owned it, but my budget isn't exactly amenable to the purchase. Perhaps I will be able to purchase it in time when I'm able to save up.

Its a beautiful piece. Wish you luck

 

This one is a family heirloom token. 1853-5 arrows quarter.

 

Thats incredible that it has been in your family. I own a lot of love tokens but none of them can be traced back like yours.

 

That's awesome, I have the gold love token bracelet that I posted earlier in the threat, but it's not my family heirloom so I'm very jealous that you've got something like this with personal connection. Very cool!

 

Calico:

Very neat family item

 

I picked this one up the other day since it has my family initial and I liked the look a lot. 1853 seated liberty quarter:

 

Beautiful engraving and enameled piece.

Nice pickup

 

How do you like my rare & valuable ANA token? Legend has it that people were paid to stand in line at the 1889 ANA convention to get one.

It is also possible that some lady was named Ana or had the initials AAN. I like the 1889 American Numismatic Association story better.

Just joking people.

BTW, I have some love tokens that have individual letters on them. They are placed in albums so that they spell different words. It's like playing Scrabble with coins. I'll try to get some photos to post.

 

Hello, my name is D-A-N and I have a small love token collection.

 

Here is an interesting "P" on an 1859 quarter:

 

There are lots of neat single letters to collect and many monograms to decipher.

Love tokens are also made with coins of the World (Obviously it's not limited to USA coins). I have some that were engraved on German coins I think. I'll try to get more photos of the single letters & World coin love tokens.
