Mercury / Love Token

[Ratman]

Got this baby today at one of my local turf haunts . It's a Mercury Dime / Love Token ! Wasn't to sure what it was till my detecting bud Lee said you got a love token ! After a little cleaning I noticed the back showed that it was a Mercury Dime . Enjoy !

Nice find...hadn't seen one of those.

it reminds me of the ring I made out of a buffalo nickle...cut out the center and rounded the edge off with an old spoon...folded the words on the edge right inside. No big deal but I lost it when some fine young man came in my house and decided he wanted it, along with a whole bunch of other stuff

Thanks for all the kind words . Yes this is a special find and unusual since most love tokens were made from seated coins . I love finding the odd stuff it never ceases to amaze me . Thanks again .

Congrats, Mike, on a truly interesting find. That's the first love token I've ever seen on a Merc. It's amazing how a cool find like this finally surfaced after years of pounding that area. It was meant for you, my friend.
