<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8506893, member: 19250&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t say so , love tokens in general no matter how ornate or fancy were a gift of emotions it matter not if it was on a cent or silver dollar....it was the thought that counted. I&#039;m relatively sure your specimen was just as valuable to the person who recieved it as the others posted. </p><p>Now true the art work can be better or worse..... but again google a inflation calculator and then do the&nbsp; math of the value of a dime in the 1850&#039;s as to the buying power today. </p><p>As an example I just aquired a check writter in Baltimore 1875 for the amount of $750.00 &amp; change....would you believe that $750. In that time frame is equal to over $19,000 in 2022 money! </p><p>If your weekly salary was $2.00 @ week&nbsp; during that time peroid&nbsp; a dime was a heck of a lot of money.</p><p>In 1972 while I was in high school&quot; Super Shell gasoline &quot; was 17 cents a gallon....so everything is reverent of the time .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
