[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3273257, member: 10461"]Thanks. I'll still likely list it, but WITH the provenance. I've been able to profit pretty well by adding this kind of information. [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Edit[/B]: OK, no, I'm gonna hold on to it a little while longer to see if we can find a living descendant to give it to. (See subsequent posts.)[/COLOR] But if I still collected love tokens and engraved pieces, I'd certainly keep this one. Engraved coins are a fascinating niche of exonumia, and these WW1 pieces could form a fascinating collection category in themselves. A lot of them were made as [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-sailmakers-badge-ww1-royal-flying-corps-identity-disc-made-from-1916-british-half-crown.287381/']soldier ID badges[/URL], but some, like this and the other one I linked to above, were sweetheart gifts to girlfriends, wives, and mothers. In fact, I still keep an eye out for stuff like this despite no longer collecting it. (I might even collect this sort of thing again one day.)[/QUOTE]
