1723/2 Wood's Hibernia Copper - Newp.

I think you posted to the wrong area

That's a very respectable looking piece for a details coin, VT. To my eye, the peripheral regions look VF, and the color looks to be an even milk chocolate. I'd free this puppy from its cage ...

I have a few of these in my colonial cabinet and now realize that I never gave thought to soliciting attributions. This is because I've never known a collector who pursued the varieties in this series. Also, my colonials tend to see daylight but a few times a year.

I'll crack it out when I get it :-)

Thanks Vin!

Thank you. Very kind :)

Good one. I like them but don't have one yet.

I read the entire article, good reading for a cool rainy morning. I have often wondered what these coins were used for back then,as in, what could you purchase with this type of coin. This article mentions that a loaf of bread cost 1 penny.

Nice coin VT! Syd Martin's book on Hibernia Coppers is an opus. I have a copy and have read it through once, and it is very comprehensive.
