I just noticed... Quote:
(If some of the foreign-minted coins that were utilized as currency during our nation's birth appear in this thread, I probably won't ask the Mods to delete them...) Good. While I cannot speak for the others, I was not going to fulfill that request.  |

I only have two that fit into the above category. Both were given to me in the mid 50's by an elderly coin dealer out of his "junkbox" when I was there to buy my first Whitman Lincoln Cent folder. Since they are both "dogs" I will list them as my 13 & 12 picks, even though they could also be my 2 & 1 picks. 1738 George II Copper Halfpenny. This coinage was produced in the London mint for use in Ireland. They were not officially sanctioned for use in the American colony.   |

I have been wanting to get a colonial for a while now. I have asked the dealers I trust at every show for the last couple of years, but they havent had any. The dealers that did were greaseballs IMO, so I didnt even glance twice. Iwill be enjoying this one.

Here's my 2nd and last offering. 1723 George I Copper Halfpenny. It is actually a chocolate brown all over but I brightened the pic to show what little detail is left. Also included a pic of what it did look like at one time.    From here on I will just sit back and enjoy. On with the show. |
