living-in-the-past Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 3:16 pm I recently acquired this interesting hand engraved eagle on shield "Puss" (unfortunate last name?) ID love token in a lot with a low grade Fugio cent and Massachusetts cent. It appears to be engraved on a 34.5mm 21.7g copper planchet with three stars engraved around the rim. It looks to me in the style of something done in the late 18th or early 19th century. Any thoughts on what it specifically might be or any other additional information would be greatly appreciated.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25056 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 6:35 pm That's a really cool love token, Living! The size/weight don't correspond to any coins from that era that I can think of. It's larger than a George III halfpenny but smaller and lighter than a penny. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
