    Description

    Love Token engraved on an 1848 U. S. 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 coins 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. Looped for suspension and most obviously meant for wear as a pendant.  Wight of 7 Grams, 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.
