These are the sellers images, this coin looks much nicer in hand. I love these early coppers and the history involved with our nation. Anyways just wanted to share... Report this Post to the Staff

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 10/05/2012 5:13 pm That would look sweet in my type set album! I opted not to add the gold page and used a blank large cent page for my colonial coppers instead. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 10/05/2012 10:17 pm As I had never seen or heard of this coin prior to now, I just read an article on them. Very cool. They mentioned the differing types and what not. My question, which year is this one? Report this Post to the Staff
algol Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 12:15 pm Thanks for the comments. Smokerideron its a 1783 the date is on the reverse and is hard to see in the photo. Here is a link to an excellent site from Notre Dame University on early American colonial coins and currency. http://www.coins.nd.edu/ Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 11:01 pm By the way, I believe NGC was a bit conservative on this coin. Colonials, by different standards, have many considerations to be made such as strike vs. actual wear being one, as well as planchet imperfections/flaws which some TPG's will actually call damage. This is where their broad knowledge, and not any one specialty, becomes apparent. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
