Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2772068, member: 10461"]Thanks for looking at some of my love token stories, and for the link to the moonmoth page.  Fun read. Now, as to your amazing engraved 8-reales piece, I was going to suggest a mother's token, with the birthdates of all her children. But then I looked at those dates, and there is no way the same woman could have given birth on all of them, so closely spaced in time.  And then there's the "23 years" thing.  So a memento, obviously, but of what?  Fascinating.  And that is a superb love token (if a bit mysterious, as they can be).  Unusual and large host coin, nice engraving.  Certainly appears to have been engraved around the final 1891 date mentioned, too,  based upon the style.  I'd love to see a picture of the other side, too. PS- I just started that index in my sig line, and as such I did not link up my onetime-trademark <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-holey-coin-vest-and-holey-gold-hat.286762/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-holey-coin-vest-and-holey-gold-hat.286762/">"Holey" collection.</a>[/QUOTE]
