Anyone Know What This Is?

Oh thats weird, it shows the image to me. I did have that problem on another posting though, ill try and fix it.

its a love token, it is a Seated quarter that someone has engraved a name/letters of a name in the coin and given it to their loved one or kept it in rememberance of the loved one. I think jewelers used to sale them and engrave them for people back in the day but I am not 10% certain. I have a few love tokens here but my wife is asleep and I cant get to them to show, mine are on a Seated dime. here is a Seated dime love token on ebay that is in better condition than yours so you can see what they look like http://cgi.ebay.com/1884-Seated-Dim...SH_W0QQitemZ130041258075QQihZ003QQcategoryZ4370QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem if you look on ebey there are usually qyite a few of them on there

usually there are collectors of love Tokens , but this one is a little worn so I am not sure

here is the Seated dime love token I was refering to last night and as far as value, I think I paid like 2.00 for it. I do not collect Love tokens but I do usually buy one if it has a family members intiials on it. I agree that yours was a pocket peice of some sort because it is even hard to tell what the coin once said on the reverse and they usually (even though the obverse is usually worn)have crisp detailed letters that have been engraved on the reverse

I have seen some of these which are large (made of dollar coins) sell for around 100.00 because of their size and I haven't seen very many of them around because I guess most people wanted the smaller coinage probably for the price back when they were made, it probably would take someone awhile to save up to get a dollar love token made (but this is just speculation going from stories I have heard from some older people that remember getting or having these made for them when they were in their younger years)
