Description: (A crime, I tell you: 1873-P Seated Liberty Dime, mintage a low 1.7M; 1883-P much more common, at 7.7M, and these coins would have graded highly, IMO.) Love is cheap: 10¢ could getcha some, back in the day, apparently (although 10¢ in, say, 1884 is about 3 bucks today...). In any case: Supposedly the hierarchy of initials is LAST name = Largest; FIRST name = Smallest; MIDDLE name is, well, the middle-sized one. If our unknown earnest artist followed convention, we have here a pin commemorating, I dunno, maybe Silvie Lucille Bell and her friends Lucretia Astor and Ulysses Hunt. Item as you see: a three-element love token, most likely a pin (you can see the "o" catch soldered to the middle piece). But it's unclear whether the pin itself was soldered to the middle piece or to the third piece--or whether, given that the middle piece has TWO engraved faces, this was recycled from an early piece of jewelry. Sort of the Victorian equivalent of tattooing over your old lover's name... Study the pictures and YOU decide what love story is told here. As always, another chance to hold History, in. Your. HAND! With apologies to Bobby Burns: O my Luve is like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June;O my Luve is like the melody That’s sweetly played in tune. So fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I;That I will scrape this coin, my dear, Till a' collectors cry.
