<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2772080, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you for the speculation on that oddball 8 reales love token.&nbsp; Your thoughts on the mother&#039;s token might be on the right track - maybe it is a grandmother&#039;s token?&nbsp; The birthdates could be from different kids.&nbsp; Although the 23 years doesn&#039;t really fit in...</p><p><br /></p><p>I put the &quot;portrait&quot; side of that love token as a thumbnail in my original post.&nbsp; Here it is (note the crude CAD engraved lightly on the neck):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]639462[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I love your holey coins hat and vest - I sometimes wear some of my coin brooches, although I was humiliated at a bar once wearing a cut-out Panama Balboa on my coat lapel.&nbsp; Amy, a friend of mine with a sarcastic streak said to me:&nbsp; &quot;Whoa!&nbsp; The Sheriff&#039;s in town!&quot;&nbsp; Er, yeah, it does kinda look like a Sheriff&#039;s badge, or a Texas Ranger&#039;s badge made out of an old cutout Mexican 5 pesos...&nbsp; I just kept drinking beer - that usually takes the sting out of barside comments from tall blondes, at least to some extent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nowadays I only wear coin pins if they are half-dollar size or smaller.&nbsp; I don&#039;t ever want to be mistaken for law enforcement again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
