For curiosity's sake, what is the most common (understanding that is a relative statement) "Pre-Federal United States" coin one could acquire?

My guess would be New Jersey, I see more of those for sale then the others.

I currently have 2 New Jersey culls for sale at $40 each. I think that is pretty affordable, especially for a colonial. Note, this is not intended to be a solicitation but merely to answer your question with an example.

If you are willing to stretch your definition, you could include Spanish silver and British Halfpennies. Halfpennies can be found as low as $1 each and Spanish silver around $4 each.

With well over 300 varieties known, most being very attainable as well as affordable, I agree, Connecticut coppers followed by New Jersey coppers.

John,
I think many people have seen that CC2R and it will end over $50.

It's the most common variety (called: High 1793 variety) of the currently (89) reported - known at this time. Over the last year we hit the ceiling on (89) varieties so we are close to the end of any major additions coming from anywhere and increasing this count of (89). Anyone needing a digital Colonial Newsletter article of the addendum of new varieties to the original ANS/COAC treatment by Kleeberg let me know - its FREE. See Stacks/Bowers C4 November 2013 of the David Wnuck Collection for these types - very undervalued - why? because I refuse to write a book so as to jack up the prices <VVBG> ... ENJOY!

Low grade Wood's Hibernia Coinage are relatively inexpensive. lots were minted and then they got dumped in the colonies and were heavily used in trade.
