Most love tokens are done on dimes. Of denominations are scarcer and the copper denominations are quite scarce. (There is some thought that the denomination used was a reflection of how much you valued the other person. The higher the denomination the more the person was willing to sacrifice for the object of their affection. What did it say that you would only give up a cent for them rather than a dime?) Since the Two Cent Piece was long out of circulation during the heyday of the love tokens they are very seldom seen. Your token is actually a very desirable item.
