| Next in popularity seemed to be names and dates. The names are interesting because many of the names such as Fannie and Ida that were common back then are not so common now. The meanings of the engravings are sometimes difficult to decipher. You just have to use your imagination. |
 |
| "Fannie" was a common name during the late 1800's. Here we see the name on a Type II $1.00 Gold Dollar. |
 |
| "Lylia" is nicely engraved between two designs. Note the top portion of a heart above and below the name. Note the hole at the top. This dime was probably worn on a piece of jewelry. |
 |
| "Annie S. Thompson Rockville Conn." Seldom do you find a piece with both a name and a location. The owner is researching this Love Token. It is engraved on a 1877 L.S. Quarter. |
 |
| Next we look at a few Love Tokens with dates. They were made to commemoate an anniversary, special event, or birth date. |
 |
| 1832 - 1882 A "50th anniversary" gift made on a Type III $1.00 gold dollar. |
 |
 |
| "Christmas 1881" on a 1881 L.S. Dime. Note the two holes indicating that it may have been on a bracelet at sometime. |
| How old are love tokens? "James Bell born March 1, 1795" British 1/2d copper. |
