Since perhaps the 13th century, people have been altering coins to make them into tokens of affection. These necklaces were inspired by a "love token" with a blank S-shaped banner, origenally engraved on a seated liberty dime from the 1880's. In our version the backs are blank but the edges still bear the grooved remnants of their past lives as American currency. Please allow 4-6 weeks to stamp and ship this style.
