<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3560855, member: 10461&quot;]Here are my pix of the Cracker Jack sailor.&nbsp; He was carved on an 1879 Indian cent, which unfortunately has a rather rough obverse from an old mounting, but it is still a fun piece.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the sailor is contemporary to the 1870s.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=80148]@coin_nut[/USER] will recognize this piece as well.&nbsp; Ironically, he got it in a similar &quot;accidental cherrypick&quot; situation where I was doing random grabs for his Secret Santa package, and I had no idea it was a <i>pictorial </i>love token.&nbsp; I had it upside-down and thought it was a weird monogram and did not recognize the sailor carving for what it was!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ed did, and later sent the coin back to me in a gift lot.&nbsp; (I had sent him a handful of tokens and stuff for Secret Santa.&nbsp; We had each other as Secret Santa partners last year.)</p><p><br /></p><p>*Note to self- use your <i>loupe</i> and not just reading glasses when doing random grabs from your &quot;unsorted&quot; box. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/fC3uL2ReTZe7UQuv1WQy_20190511_061238.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/e6vz5MHaTaGH1TUdDp0H_20190511_061339.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
