Wow! Got a permission at the only house I knocked at this morning. I was swinging by 930 which is nice because I only had til 1. Nice 1800s house that was one of those well manicured places I was sure if get told NO at. Low and behold the owner was very polite and gave me the ok. It was a strange yard with deeper clad pennies and shallow mercs. Ended up getting 2 Indians, 2 mercs (1918 and 1927) a nice buff, and the find of the day this stunning 1877 seated quarter Love token! I have a barber quarter on my bucket list and figures I would skip right past that and get the seated not that I'm complaining though LOL!! Thanks for looking and hh!! 20170620_133348.webp20170620_112638.webp20170620_133230.webp20170620_133259.webp20170620_133135.webp20170620_133155.webp20170620_134903.webp20170620_134918.webp20170620_135024.webp

I dug an 1877 Seated quarter and 1865 love token on the same site but not the awesome combo youve got there. Congrats
 

Excellent pile of assorted treasure.
Great hunt....
 

THAT is absolutely beautiful! Great find my friend and I love the detail and the amt of work that went into it. I think that is something that need to be up in the banner for all to see! I'm submitting my vote!
 

Great bunch of finds, That love token is over the top CONGRATS
 

Great love token! Wow!!!
 

Cjon, I've seen a LOT of love tokens, there's tons on fee-bay, but I'm pretty sure they aren't "genuine", if you get my drift...that unit you have has got to be the absolute AWESOMEST one I've had the privelage of seeing. I couldn't imagine the craftsmanship it took to create it, not to mention the patience...Congrats, that made my day...Ddf
 

A whole lot more were made on dimes, so a quarter is exceptional! I found one a couple years ago on an 1859 dime and it remains one of my favourite. Congrats on the one-off! There ain't another one like it!
 

The engraving is fantastic! What a day you had!
 

Super detail, it must have been crafted and then lost soon after. And to not be holed makes it even better.
 

What I love about your love token is not that it's old and not that it's silver, but the style of the carving. The style is like traditional leather carving. (Yes, I do a little leather work on a newbie level.)

Anyway BANNER NOMINATION!
 

That's an amazing save!!! HH
 

Lovely craftsmanship! Very nice!
 

Great coin, love token is high on my bucket list. I would love that coin. Congrats.
 

Absolutely Beautiful......
 

That is one great mix of finds, and that love token is simply incredible! Congrats on an amazing find!!

Beauty of a love token. I believe quarter-sized love token are found far less often. I'm amazed by the skill and concentration spent on crafting love tokens, but I guess back in the day people had far less distractions - no TV, internet, social media, etc.
 

What a crazy good permission! The love token is a beauty, and the rest of your finds are pretty great too. Congrats.
 

Craftsmanship is outstanding. Beautiful coin made into a token. A wonderful find
 

A quarter was a lot of money back then! Amazing gift and Amazing find!
