Nice looking coin. Thanks for sharing!
You are turning me into a Colonial fan!
I will need to read up on these a bit more.

Rayman,
Look into "The Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins".
Terrific introductory book of most Colonial types.
Then there are more specialized books based on type.

Indy that is neat, I wonder how they knew to named that coin after you over 200 years ago.
Thanks for sharing.

Really nice. But definitely out of my price range. Do you loan out your time machine.  |

Yes but many insurance papers to sign and, it's not cheap. I almost got shot once trying to ask for a drink in a Carson City saloon. They were making fun of my clothes!

Can't wait to see what happens in the final minutes. What do you think it closes at? |

Good question. I would be VERY surprised if there are no more bids. Very popular type among Colonial collectors. I will take a guess, $3200-3400.
It's just a guess.

Beautiful piece of history! I like all the signs of handwork to the die.

A New York City silversmith by the name of William Coley, is believed to have cut the dies and punched the lettering for the Landscape and Baby Head issues.
It was the later bust issues that the design elements were cut with better workmanship and tools.
To find one this nice is a real treat.
