Anyone with a 13th favorite colonial to post?

Not sure how it's supposed to work from here. I have a few colonials. Are we doing this by date?

I have two that appear in the Red Book. I have some other period British coppers that are not regal and some are. But I'll go with my humble North American Token and even though it is dated 1781, I believe that these were actually minted later than that and perhaps in Ireland or Canada but probably not in Colonial US. Yet they are accepted as US Colonial coinage and circulated in both America and Canada.

I have my one and only Colonial a 1773 Virginia Half Penny. Wonder how many of our Fumbling Founders may have touched this one?

A 1791 Small Eagle Washington cent token. These were struck in Birmingham by local merchants and shipped to Philadelphia with the purpose to propose them as official American Coinage. Both large and small eagle varieties exist.

Kentucky Cent Plain Edge. This undated copper is probably a British Conder piece that is included in many Colonial collections.

Looks like we're no longer in an order, so IMO, no thread such as this would be complete without a FUGIO! Here's mine, which is currently being graded at ANACS
