muddyknuckles Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 12/31/2019 07:52 am Is there any way to know if this is an error or post mint damage without having it in hand. The patina is pretty much the same reverse and obverse besides the copper dimple or whatever on the back I also see a possible small clip. Thank you for whatever help you have to offer.

Just search "love token" at ebay and you'll see hundreds of examples. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Seems like most the love tokens I have seen have been on silver coins thought maybe Struck Through Grease or a capped die but the love token idea seems the most logical. Report this Post to the Staff
