Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Love Token engraved on an 1848 U. S. $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle, a much less encountered canvas than the usual Silver Dime or Quarter. The coin a scarce date in and of itself, and unusual to see such an early dated coin used as a Love Token or similar. Almost certainly a Philadelphia Mint issue, based upon strike, date placement and the die crack seen at the right of the date (shown). The minor amount of wear to the coin's Obverse design suggests that it was nearly Uncirculated when used as the host. As the period when Love Tokens were most popular was not until later in the 19th Century, this suggests that the coin was held by someone for a considerable time prior to being used as the host for this design. Otherwise, this was created prior to the general period when Love Tokens were in vogue. Host coin is guaranteed to be a genuine product of the U. S. Mint. Looped for suspension and most obviously meant for wear as a pendant. Weight of 7 Grams (approx. 1/5 Ounce Fine Gold), appropriate to the amount of metal removed by the engraving. Professionally engraved - the small mark at the center of the unengraved side is a centering dot for placement on the lathe used to engrave a portion of the design. A few minor marks and a bit of a "polished" look, whether from minor cleaning or just normal wear as intended. 0712-23 Please Note: We require payment within four days of purchase, unless you contact us for other arrangements in advance of purchase.
