Did You Know That There is a "LOVE Token" Society ???
I Dropped by One of Those "We Buy Gold" Places Today to See if They Might Have any SILVER For Sale ?
In My Travels Around the Valley Coin Shoppe's I Also Drop Into Pawn Shops and We Buy Gold Stores..............
I Know That If I Go to These Non Standard Coin Shoppes I may Very Well Find a Little Treasure, Of Course Many of You Know That I am a Pirate at Heart.................
I Did Find Some Great Stuff Today and I Will Be Showing Some of The Things I Got Today Over The Next Couple of Weeks...............
But Getting Back To This Love Token Thing, Love Tokens Were A Big Thing Back in the 19th Century...........
I am going to Show You The Love Token I Picked UP Today and Then I am Going to Leave a Link for You so that You Can Learn a lot More About The Exonumia Area of Coin Collecting.............

This just more than a Valentine's thing, back when these tokens was serious old fashioned courting gifts.
These were a Big Deal in the Day.............
Like a substitute 'Shiny-sparkling-until-I-save-up-the-cash-for-the-real-ring' Deal.
Or something like that
