SsuperDdave- very good points. I have noticed that a lot of British & European gold coins from the late 19th century and 20th century are often just treated as bullion pieces in the US.

Bullion is almost completely non numismatic, colonial copper is purely numismatic.
There is no reason why it is not possible to divide your spending. Philosophically, they need not be mutually exclusive.
I have some bullion value only platinum, and very many coins with a purely numismatic value.

It's your opinion. If you rather look at a chunk of gold keep it or if you rather look at a colonial trade it.

I'm just wondering about the people saying that a coin from 1888 is "new".


Well 'new' is relative, isn't it?

Compared to a well worn Vermont or NJ copper. An AU or MS 1888 Gold piece is quite new.

Of course to many young people today if something existed before Facebook it is truly ancient.

If I go on you will all know how truly old I am.
