Nutley New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 8:12 pm Recently received this coin in an auction with Canadian coins. Just curious as to what's the deal with the back side of the coin. Is this from a stamp, or from someone etching it out? Thanks for any information you guys can give me about this. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 8:52 pm @nutley, first welcome to CCF. Second, @fuzzy is correct. This coin was machined smooth on one side and then a new design (initials) engraved so that this could be a gift or memento. Some people may collect love tokens, but there is very little numismatic value left for this coin.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 10:12 pm @nutley, it looks to me like the concept of having a live chat at CCF was floated pretty early on, but then rejected so that these threads have a permanence that lives on long after we sign out: http://goccf.com/t/28095 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
