I'm attaching photos of a love token I picked up at the Whitman Baltimore Expo. The host coin is a 1909 Barber dime. The reverse features a
line from a 1905 sentimental ballad by Theodore F. Morse --- "Keep a Little Cozy Corner in Your Heart for Me" --- and is signed by
"Sadie."
The dime is in nice condition, so I imagine it was planed and engraved some time in 1909 or 1910, before it saw much if any circulation, and then
it was set aside in a safe place for generations.
I've never seen a love token with such a plain, text-only inscription (no flourishes, scrolls, or fancy monograms). And this is the smallest
font I've ever seen on a love token. I wonder if any E-Sylum readers have seen one of similar fabric published in any of the numismatic
journals or elsewhere?
