Does anyone have any info on this stamp? It is on the reverse of an 1875 Seated dime.

They are very common and I used to sell them for Five to Eight Dollars each (depending on artwork) some dozen+ years back when I used to set-up at coin shows.

Below are 3 leftover l♥ve Tokens that I have moved to my "Not-So-Junk" - Junk Silver pile should Silver Spot ever reach $50 a ounce again, when all would be sold at spot.
In the photo below, the left and centered dime would have sold for $5. each and the coin on the right would have been a $8. coin...

[i have been putting off posting photos of the silver coins available at spot should it ever hit the big 50 (some nice coins), and everytime I mention it I receive comments that they would never spend that amount for silver, not realizing that they would be purchasing collector coins (not junk) at spot price].

The subject piece was engraved with personal initials for a keepsake, not stamped. These lettered logo-like designs tend to be the most commonly seen format where love tokens are concerned.
