unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 2:31 pm Can't tell you if it is real or not as I am no expert on these coins, but Ican tell you that just about every gift shop in Washington DC has coins just like that one for sale. Report this Post to the Staff
Countryangel424 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 2:31 pm I just did some digging and found that the copper one is worth between $3.50 and $51.00. Could not find it at first till I knew to call it a pine tree coin. Figured it out. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Could not find it at first till I knew to call it a pine tree coin. Figured it out. :) Those are the prices for the replicas. There is only one single original example known of this coin, and it was found 165 years ago. The proof of your coin's inauthenticity is in the shown legend "1C LM", for "1 Cent, Lawful Money." Unfortunately, it should read "1d LM", "d" being the British designation for a Penny. The term "Cent" was not in use then. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 01:18 am I have that replica and plan to keep it since the only example ever found will likely remain out of my price range. Report this Post to the Staff
