Second, while there are some folks who collect love tokens, in general much of the numismatic value of this piece is gone. Third, in a quick web search, it looks to me like TBA as an acronym for "To be Announced" post-dates your coin. It seems likely to me that these are someone's initials, perhaps the initials of the engraver's beloved.

ridge New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 2:06 pm The TBA is almost certainly the initials of someone that the coin was dedicated to. A boy / girl friend, and the date would be that persons birth date or even perhaps date of their passing, maybe even wedding date. I agree that the coin , depending on whether its a six pence, or a shilling, may be worth $10 to $20 to a collector of " Love " tokens Report this Post to the Staff
