Just one more post of cool coin for you. This is a Love Token inscribed on an 1864-S quarter. Obviously, the reverse is wiped out, so technically, you can't see the mintmark, but I am basing this on attributing the coin from the obverse only.

James - this seems more like an "attaboy" token than a love token! laugh.gif "Awarded to Nora Kelly for correct deportment, June 1884" Good girl, Nora! insane.gifangel.gif

 

Thanks! Hoot

Those old tokens are neat items. I sometimes check them out on ebay and have even bought a few.

 

I got my wife one with her name on it one time. Even she thought it was neat.

Cameron, "deportment" means behavior.

 

Goose3, you're lucky - I've been looking for a love token with my wife's name on it for a couple years. I found one about a year ago on ebay on a Morgan dollar. Wasn't crazy about one that big but I tried for it anyway. It went for well over $300! I didn't want it that bad.

You know what, I thought it was "depArtment" as well? "Deportment" makes a lot more sense!

Now, maybe, my first post makes more sense? laugh.gif
