Seated Liberty Half Love Token

[metaldiggr]

Found this today, super happy about it. We hit a new permission, 1830 farm. Everything was gone by 1920... House, barns, everything. I was excited to work an area that predated aluminum trash. Turns out the square nails close to power lines were equally as challenging. Working an area by an old tree I came across this. 1875 Seated Liberty Half Dollar that the reverse was wiped, fancy added & initialized. The obverse is mint with the exception of where the pin was soldered on.

WOW!!, a hald dollar one, I have a seated dime one and feel lucky to have dug it, that one is special, I also have a quarter love token, I think of them as one of my favorite digs, yours is a beauty

As a numismatist, it makes me cringe, but, as jewelry, it's pretty cool!

I'm a Numismatist as well, but the way I look at this is simply, it would never have been found unless it was converted & lost. So your choice is an interesting Love Token or Nothing.

Lovely find. Curious that the jeweler appears to have used iron for the pin instead of silver.

My 1854 had an iron pin as well.
I've seen a few over the years and it's the same deal.
