A find of a lifetime coin !!!

Let get right to it ! It is a Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar that was handcarved it to a love tonken
I found this sweet thing on Saturday when I went to a hot spot.
Allday I was hoping for the elusive IH one coin that is not to hard to find but I never found one!!
But all I get is this love tonken LOL... This is my very best find.

Nice going on the love token, wish more were posted, they are usually great works of art.
Mine is engraved on both sides, has been posted before on this forum, just don't remember where, maybe in best finds.

That is really cool! Usually, I hate finding a coin without a date on it, but I'd have to make an exception in that case! What a work of art.

Wow, that is indeed a beauty. I've never seen anything like it. You don't see many folks making things like that for their sweethearts these days. Of course, I suppose everyone wasn't necessarily doing it back then, either. Almost makes me want to try my hand at such a craft...

Great find!
