Bucket list coin checked off. Not in the best shape, but most of these had terrible planchets as-struck. I would love to upgrade someday but prices on these issues in any condition start at "slightly painful" and rise quickly from there... 1786 Republic of Vermont "VERMONTENSIUM" Landscape Copper RR-6 / Fine details, net AG Obv: Sunrise over a Green Mountains landscape with trees, plow beneath with date at bottom / VERMONTENSIUM RES PUBLICA "Republic of Vermont" Rev: All-seeing eye surrounded by pointed rays (as on Nova Constellatio) / STELLA QUARTA DECIMA "The Fourteenth Star"   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

I've long had my eye on those, Paralyse. But you're spot on the pricing. Do you really want to lay out 2k on a colonial. They are really beautiful coins in higher grades though. I don't believe any MS examples exist. If memory serves the finest is au-55. There's one in au coming up for auction at Stacks-Bowers. |

There is a PCGS MS-62 example of one of the Landscapes if I remember correctly, I want to say it was ex: Eliasberg, but I'm old and my memory sucks.

Thank you, guys. The 1791 Washington cents are not colonial coins properly speaking - they are rather post colonial/pre-federal. they were minted in Birmingham, England on private contract, but did circulate in America. This is an example of the 'small eagle' type.   |

Great thread, this, containing many mouth-watering colonials! Sadly, I parted company with almost all of my colonials last year. I'm holding onto the counterstamps for a while longer!  Here's one of my most puzzling favorites. It's a Connecticut copper, M16.1-m, an R-5. My suspicion is that this may have been used as a church penny; this, similar to the Albany church pennies. The B / D.CP counterstamp could stand for Boston, Dutch Church Penny, but that's pure speculation on my part. One other specimen has been reported - the stamp being on a different type colonial copper.   Edited by ExoGuy

http://goccf.com/t/338628#2895455Very nice New England shilling: a very classic coin! Also a nice Washington piece. I think it's similar to the Fugios as those were never officially sanctioned pieces but I think they may have been struck in the US at least. I have a few colonials including one New Jersey cent purchased years ago. I think the auction was even held in New Jersey.
