I'll go ahead and post this 1755 since my schedule has been wonky. Mexico (Spain) - 1755 Mo-M 2 Reales Very nice original circulated example of the pillar type, albeit worn.

I seem to always be following erafjel's beautiful gold coins with something of infinitesimally smaller value. Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth copper 1 grosz, Gubin mint.

Jokes aside, while gold undeniably has its own particular attraction, I appreciate all beautiful coins regardless of their value (nominal or numismatic). I look at my lowly 1769 copper liard (3,840 on a double louis d'or and, yes, considerably cheaper to acquire) as often as I look at my gold coin above. Your coins I always look at with appreciation.

1753 is the year where I have one of my favorite coin designs to post, in this case on a 1/2 Thaler 1753 - Bavaria - 1/2 Thaler "Madonna" These are not good photos, the coin has a decent bit of gold, green and purple color toning, especially on the reverse, and does not look washed out or dull in hand.

Thanks!
That halfpenny is equally nice. Finding British copper without issues and in decent shape from before the 1770s is a tough endeavor, at least here in the US. Everything I see is beat-up, corroded, heavily worn or damaged, and if not, it's priced way above what you'd expect to see. Your coin is in great shape and looks to be problem-free -- I wouldn't let go of that one!
