Seated field gives up another bucketlister. Love tokens were popular in the late 19th century and almost always on seated dimes mostly. Ive found close to twenty seated dimes in here so I was hoping for the love token. Turns out to be my first 19th century foreign silver instead. 1865 French 50 centimes

Congrats on the love token...excellent dig!
Very nice find.
I haven't found one of those love tokens.
Does a 1868 nickel holed count?? Got one of those.

Super cool! I like that it's on foreign silver. I found a love token from some sort of silver quarter last year, couldn't believe I actually found one. Congrats on a hard to come by find!

Only if one side has been smoothed and replaced with initials or one's personal design.

Nice , I have found several half dimes and dimes with I would guess some one's beloved initials scratched into it.

very cool find there.
Thanks. Glad I could help. They dont come out of the ground that often. Easier to find a seated dime than a love token

Wow, great find! Never seen one done on a foreign coin before!
Thanks. Never thought I would find a French silver, especially one this old, even though I use a French detector. Lol.
