[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 761734, member: 4350"]Your entitled to your opinion but it is apparent that you haven't seen anything much like this before. Something as simple as a filled die could have effected the coin even before it was used to make the "token". There are many scenarios that could have easily caused this. In any case, it really doesn't matter as a love token is almost never considered as a coin or numismatic item after it is made. It falls into a category known as exonumia. The value of the coin itself has no bearing on the piece anymore. I do agree that the strongest likelihood is what conder suggests. Thanks, Bill PS: when you've seen hundreds of love tokens and other things, such as Hobo nickels, you would be amazed at what minor and major modifications are done as they are made. because it is nonsense to you does not mean it does not occur.
