<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 321163, member: 2100&quot;]Yes, it appears to be a love token. Dimes were one of the most commonly used coins for this display of admiration. Fancy carved letters are the most typical style, and they can be readily found on ebay, and even have their own section under exonumia. Nice examples often go in the $20 and slightly upward range. Pictorials can bring much higher prices, often several hundred or more, and larger coins also sell for larger amounts since they are less common. I suggest looking at ebay completed auctions to get a more accurate picture of what they actually sell for. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a small collection of these, and I watch for nicely done examples. In the time I have spent doing so, I have noticed that most of the host dimes are of the seated Liberty types. I don&#039;t know if a Barber would be a plus since there are fewer of them, or a minus since it is &quot;newer&quot;, or if it doesn&#039;t matter at all. Personally, I don&#039;t pay much attention to what the host coin is, since that is not what I buy them for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
