jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 02/28/2016 7:57 pm When I first saw this one, I thought what a shame someone drilled a hole in it even though I could imagine someones wife or girlfriend wearing it around their neck. Then I turned it over. Pretty cool looking, but I would have rather had the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

It is definitely worth more than scrap value. Value of love tokens depends on such things as the coin denomination, how elaborate the engraved inscription is, etc. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 02/28/2016 9:27 pm Holed 19th century small silver (and even gold coins) are quite common; they were used for jewelry purposes. Also common to find small silver and gold coins with hard soldered on small metal loops for suspension. I have about 20 or so U.S. and British small silver coins that are holed. They are really worth only silver value, and that is the price at which I bought them for. Report this Post to the Staff
