Engraved Coins, Love Tokens, and Coin Jewelry
Love Token Fashioned out of a 1904-Dated Barber Half Dollar.
The reverse of the host coin depicts a list of male and female names curving over and around each other with the dates DEC.15 and DEC.17 above. Most of the names are of couples with the same last name. It is possible that this piece lists couples’ names from a 2-day dance contest, though its exact purpose is today obscure.
From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection.
