Had his heart dashed:

Bender

It is a bender, meaning in likelihood a suitor gave it to his intended and she bent it and cast it away, dashing his hopes of marriage.

Looks like they've restraightened that one, i have seen them still bent in half before... eek.

I think the bend adds significantly to the history the coin represents. I really like them along with the love tokens. Very neat items to own.

Ouch!

Often done by the Plough or the other farm machinary......Perfect Lizzie 6d,s what are they
Early milled not a bad coin.

I have one that was restraightened but it's worn badly and is black as tar. Glad to know the story behind the bent silver LizI 6ds.
