LOVE TOKENS AND OTHER ITEMS FROM BOB RHUEBob Rhue shared these images of some interesting items he'd recently obtained. Thanks! -Editor   A rather ornate love token on an 1891 25c   A ‘love token’ of sorts on an 1848 Large Cent which seems to read: NBC Media NY (does anyone out there have any information on this?)   A 1/2c countermarked ‘C H. 4 cts’ on both sides. (Any speculation on what was intended here?)     A pair of 1940’s era airplane related silver medals with appealing pictorials.   A love token with an animal/nature scene. What do readers think of these? I like the aviation medals, particularly the United Airline commemorative. "NBC Media NY" evokes broadcasting emanating from Rockefeller Center, but doesn't make sense stamped on an old cent. Is "Media NY" a place? I couldn't find such a town. -Editor  Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. See our web site at coinbooks.org.
