    1860 Seated dime with inscription on back....

    Ok I'm looking for info on this 1860 Seated dime, but on the back it has what looks like a blacksmith anvil and hammer but the inscription is what I can't find anything on.. I was hoping some of you easterner's have seen these before, maybe even this particular inscription. Hope you all can help... Would really like to put a location to this coin....
    I know guys this is a shot in the dark... but if anyone has seen a duplicate, be neat to get more info... Thanks for lOOking GH..

    I imagine it would be a fluke if you could actually ID that as being anything more than a "love token." It is unique to say the least, a real beauty for sure, but was probably made by one person for another person, and will be darn near impossible to track it down.

    Beautiful piece, though!

    Thats a one of a kind very cool love token. (as stated) . He must have been a blacksmith or farrier. Very unique hand engraved piece. Looks like a horseshoe on the anvil horn.

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    Is that a solder weld on the front side?

    yes i assume it is.. Its got a brass color.. the opposite side looks like it melted the silver a little... probably had a charm around it.

    Translation of meaning of inscription on backside; someone was in love with the blacksmith's " Hammer?"........NGE
