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!!!!

My gosh Vladimir, what an incredibly historic find for Toronto! :occasion14:
What I also find amazing is the pin is still intact on the back.

Congratulations on your first BANNER award on Tnet as well!

Very nice finds indeed. Congrats!
 

Some of the things we find are really nice And sometimes for what ever reason our items have a special meaning to us And than once in awhile our finds have a real " IT" factor to them That is what sets the love token item apart from most other things we are able to recover .I would love to know the story behind that item
 

Congrats on getting it up top on the Banner!
It certainly deserved a place for all to remember such a one of piece of history.

Super find. I bet you will remember where you found it forever. I found my first .50 piece many moons ago but, I still remember where!

Hey, Buddy! Without any doubts I will remember where I found it forever. The places where I found rest 5 50 cents coins ( Canadian) will remember as well. These finds are not ordinary ones. Thank you!
 

That is remarkable ! Not only is it your first U.S. Half dollar, but to have found one made into a love token is very nice and its old as well.
