Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 10:59 am I'm going to give this coin an EAC grade and a market grade. As far as EAC, I'll say EAC 5. Market grade I'm willing to go a bit higher, VG-8. This is a very cool coin. I don't see many. The counterstamp is awesome as well. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4433 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 11:32 am IMHO, Celticsoul nailed the grade .... VG details in the general marketplace. Still, a cool colonial issue. This issue, with the counterstamp signifying a lower denomination, must have experienced extensive circulation, as surviving examples are typically seen in lower grades. The OP's piece looks like a metal detector find, and if so, it would be interesting to know where it was dug. Report this Post to the Staff
worldnumis Pillar of the Community United States 731 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 1:50 pm ExoGuy-----This was not a detector find, at least not by me. I've had it for at least 30-35 years and probably obtained it from a dealer junk box which were common back then before ebay and the internet. Report this Post to the Staff
