I have looking at this dime/token for a couple weeks. Wondering how collectible it is, and what value it has. Not sure if this would be considered a love token. My guess is it was done late 1800's, but not sure how to tell. Pics are with my iPad, sure not very good. Any opinions welcome

Definitely looks like a love token. Value, I am no expert, but my assessment of love tokens is such: A numismatist considers it a damaged coin. Love token collectors are far fewer, but this is a nice one. I would think you could get as much as $20 on the bay.

It is a love token. This is essentially the most common form/style on the most common host coin. I pick these up all the time between $10-20.

Love token, fairly nice, rev picture is upside down. Looks like initials are BIE

Since the initials appear to be BIE, maybe a Lincoln error collector would have an interest

I think the leftmost letter is first and the topmost letter is last so this reads "EIB." If you can find a buyer with those initials it may bring good money. Otherwise it is about a ten dollar love token.

Nice! I hope it does well, but I really hoped you were going to keep it for yourself.
