  Are coins like this worth anything more than melt ? Even if some may be rare or collectable ? Just curious thanks

Since different dates are worth more than others, we would need to see the dates to tell if there was a rare one in there.
Normally coins that have been made into jewelry are damaged to a certain degree though. So getting full price for even a ket date would not be likely.

Are they love tokens as well, with engraving on the Reverse?

Im just going by the pics I have, without going to see them I have no idea of dates or Love Tokens ?
Can coins be rescued from jewelry successfully ?

It looks to me like each was soldered to the loops to hold them. There's no rescue.

Also, jewellery coins are generally harshly cleaned.

Not to pile on, but ex-jewelry coins also tend to have distracting and uneven wear patterns.
If you do decide to bid on this piece, I would think you wouldn't want to exceed melt value. If, after examining it, you get lucky with a well-preserved, key date on one of the coins, then you've come out ahead. Just don't walk into this auction imagining that will happen.

Wow sitting at $70 plus commission and taxes I'm sure it will sell for a lot more.
