Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/21/2015 3:21 pm I have never seen a love token like that. Looks more like a counterstamped coin to me? Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/21/2015 3:22 pm No it is simply counterstamped. Sometimes it was just someone's initials, sometimes merchants did this as advertisements. There is an entire niche of collectors who specialize in counterstamped coins. Report this Post to the Staff
