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.


Thanks DEEPDIGGEREXPII

Beautiful token. I wish I could find one. So much more personal that just a coin. Unfortuately for me my oldest silver so far has only been a barber dime. (4 so far but none older than 1904) Congrats on a great find and judging by the sites outraged has on tap if you keep hunting with him you will find many more.
 
I have been working alot, and with school and the Army there has been no time to get out so I'm just doing a repost of what is still my best find thank and enjoy

a very one of a kind item -- a personal bit of history
 
That is a really nice find. The good thing about it is that you probably own the only one exactly like it unless the maker was very good a duplicate engraving!
 
Amazing find !! Bueatiful craftmanship. :o I will trade you all my IHs for it.LOL Only have five or six.
 
Very sweet find. Very intricate and delicate. Would love to find one of those. I've only got one IH, but no love tokens. Keep lookin..

WOW! What a beauty of a coin. That is worth far more than the silver it's made from.
 
That is one of the nicest love tokens I've ever seen. Beautiful. WTG. Good luck on future hunts there.

that is awsome! im still looking for the ih to! wtg!
 
that is gorgeous! :o :o look at the quality of the carving! that is an outstanding find!
 
Love tokens are cool little pieces of art. Since I've never found one, I've been contemplating collecting them. Some of them are quite intricate and the ones I've seen for sale aren't terribly expensive, since the coin's numismatic value has essentially been destroyed.
