As it turned out, the engraver decided to use the <i>head</i> side, preserving the date and mint mark -- and decided to use a Charlotte dollar. I met a dealer with a customer who <i>collects Charlotte-mint gold love tokens</i>, and he made me an offer I couldn&#039;t refuse.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/51-c-obv-cropped-jpg.620193/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/51-c-rev-cropped-jpg.620194/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
