Seated Liberty Love Token!! My First

[kg6yll]

I got permission from a lady I work with to detect at her ranch where she is getting ready to build a house. There is a stone foundation and celler dating to about 1850 her father burnt the old house down in 1950 because of vandalism. Anyhow I went out for a couple of hours last night after work. Pulled out alot of junk but also got this Seated Liberty Quarter-Dime Love token I have never seen one put together as a button and would like the groups input on this. Were they common as buttons? The ones I've seen have always been just a token or had a hole for a chain. I gave it to the landowner and they took it apart last night showing an 1876 Seated Liberty Quarter and an 1863 Seated Liberty Dime. Can't wait to go back!!

Very interesting! I have seen them as love tokens but never both! Thats a first for me...........mabe they could have been connected to a ring of some sort or a pendant to ware around your neck! Just ideas..............WTG

 

[bazinga]

Great find! Still can't believe you let them take it apart though!

 

[DPBOB]

WOW COOL FIND

We all make mistakes at times but very cool find...Find the other one an keep it

 

[Michigan Badger]

That's a great find but in the future try to encourage them not to take these things apart.

That's a great hunting spot there. Could even be a gold item or two there.

I didn't LET anyone take it apart. I gave it to the landowners and that is what they did with it. They brought it to me the next day. I imagine a jewler could solder it back together if needed.

 

[kg6yll]

I was wondering if Baron Von De Kalb had a picture of a high cuff link made out of coins. I would love to see another example of this type of find.

kg6yll. Congrats on the find! And good job sharing with the homeowner. It's got to be hard to part with such a sweet find, but it's the right thing to do sometimes. I think that gesture, helps more than can be measured... hopefully they'll show others, who will ask you to come to their place as well.
