Antique Sailor Love Token Inscribed with Initials on a 1872 Liberty Dime

Description: Love Tokens were popularized in the Victorian Era and used as symbolic pieces of affection. Given between lovers, family and friends- these coins were done on many different denominations. Pennies and Dimes were most common, however if you were well-off a more expensive coin or gold coin would be used. Most common were hand engraved initials and names on one side or both sides of a prepared coin. Images, dates and sayings have also been seen on many tokens. Many love tokens today have drilled holes where they would be strung on a cord, or added to a charm bracelet and collected. They are nostalgic and highly personal. I love the moment in time they capture. Love and longing between a sailor and his partner. They hold secrets and tell stories simultaneously. Would make a lovely necklace or charm on a bracelet.
