Hi folks. This is my first US silver half dollar found for 9 seasons of digging and 6th silver half dollar in total with 5 Canadian ones. This is also a love token with the nice letter M engraved. It is the one from an old English alphabet. The pictures were taken after cleaning this find in ultrasonic cleaner. Cause the hinge didn't work before. Now it is ok after 90 sec of cleaning. Found it in Toronto area. The huge park had a virgine spot aproximatelly 30×30 meters where I pulled lots goodies out. This is the oldest silver coin I ever found as well. Very happy with this find folks.... Somebody's big love sign/token is here in front of your eyes. Real treasure, eih!!!!

I have come back to stare at this piece several times now....and I don't think I am off base too far to say I hope to see it make it up top. I'm thinking so, being an early US half, pimped out into a love token, complete with clasp....has that look...Yea, I'm thinking banner.
Thank you so much, Buddy!!!

I'm late to the party, but I voted banner for that most amazing find- an early bust half made into a love token- I've never, ever seen one made like that and it is utterly incredible- Congrats!!
