United States, Six Seated Liberty Dimes, 1882-1884. This brooch (a pin made of more than one love token is called a brooch) connects six dimes with jump rings to each other and a precast jeweler’s bar pin back. On each coin is a distinct hammered and engraved pattern that surrounds an engraved name. The complete field of each coin is filled with geometric, floral, curvy, and straight marks. Although the pieces are all linked together, the design on each token is one-of-a-kind.

A 1793 British Conder Token from the city of York in Yorkshire. The coin was locally minted in 1793 as replacement currency during a shortage of small copper coins minted by the government. It features York Minster on the front and Clifford's Tower on the back.
The weekend of 8 - 10 September 2017 saw the Steam Gala of the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway, there were two visiting guest locomotives, one of them being Ivatt 2-6-2T numbered 41312, normally resident on the Mid-Hants Railway. In this image this versatile locomotive is seen at Furnace Sidings (the headquarters of the railway) working the 17.07 Coed Avon to Whistle Inn, a non-stop working, hence the exhaust seen emanating from the chimney. Close inspection will show the firemen on the footplate about to hand over the token from Coed Avon to Furnace Sidings, his other arm is raised to collect the token for the short journey to Whistle Inn. I watched the token exchange which was executed to perfection, pretty good for a non-professional railwayman. (Any error with the exchange could have been very painful for the 'window-hanger' in the first carriage.)

Not sure of the details of this trade token from 1838. Coin is in poor condition but is the size of the Canadian halfpenny bank tokens of the period.

Patriotic Civil War Token
The Federal Union It Must Be Preserved
Our Union
This token, bearing a likeness of the famous statue of Andrew Jackson, included his most famous quote concerning his stand against secession. "Our Federal Union! It Must Be Preserved!" was President Andrew Jackson's volunteer toast delivered at the annual Democratic Jefferson Day dinner on 13 April 1830 in response to the South Carolina senator Robert Hayne's pronullification speech. Hayne's speech and the toasts that followed were intended to display a united front for states' rights within the party. Jackson became aware of the plan before the dinner, and he decided to pronounce finally his position on nullification and win back the initiative. To the attendees' shock, Jackson, often identified with states' rights, declared his opposition to nullification and proclaimed his belief in a supreme, perpetual Union.
WEEK 31 – Old-School BAM, Lexington, SC
Because teaching your toddler the history of One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer is just as important as that of the Underground Railroad and King Tut. (By the same token, I'm not quite sure why Dolly Parton and J.K. Rowling are a part of this series...)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

My old Nikon always was pretty good at taking macros. Much better than any of the lenses I currently have for my Canon.
People say the new token "has weight to it so it won't be confused with a dime". Some unscientific measuring on my digital kitchen scale says it weighs as much as a dime: 2 grams. It is thicker than a dime though, so it definitely feels different. I think it's that thickness that makes it seem heavier than it is.
