@Beefer518, that is one sweet set you put together. I have pondered doing something similar, but can't quite commit yet to Early Copper (like you clearly have).
It happened by accident. I bought the Fugio, then came across the Massachusetts, which is graded by Walter Breen (included the grading card with his signature, and a photo of the coin), and I thought it was neat to have something so old and historical. I decided I wanted one from each of the states, and her we are. I (obviously) picked them by price, as they are all details coins, but for 200+ years, I'm ok with that. |

Beefer518, That is a beautifully matched and displayed set of early copper. To have the Massachusetts graded by no other than Walter Breen? That is so unbelievably cool!!  |

Nice, your Vermont is one of the varieties made by Machin's Mills in New York, so you could call it your Vermont and New York!

Beefer518 - that's a great set. I have a few colonials but never thought of making a set so thanks for the inspiration  Mine are 3 CT, 2 Fugio, and 1 Virginia Half Cent - is the VA a colonial or something else? Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |
