Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 9:44 pm Ive seen you post this coin several times and I've always thought it was an awesome piece. Very rare by anyone's standards let alone Breen. Edited by Celticsoul 03/08/2015 9:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 10:00 pm I thought it's been about 6. Maybe 4 or 5 :o I have the Farthing too but it has a fair amount of ED. Still a nice piece. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 10:17 pm Like the relationship between your coin and the one on Heritage. Are you asking something? Saying something? I missed it too. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 10:24 pm I think they (we) are asking how a coin you purchased over six years ago you have now found to have been auctioned less than five years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 10:35 pm Ah ok. It was an approximate year estimate of when I purchased it. I don't keep date records of when I purchase a coin..only what I paid. I didn't even see when it was purchased from Heritage nor do I care. Only the info about it in the description is what I was referring to as well as, "hey, that's my coin!" because of certain attributes. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 01:34 am That is a nice surprise, vermontensium. I wonder why the person who bought it from the Heritage auction decided to release it from the slab. A scarce and historical colonial, by the way! Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 02:12 am I don't know why. Hopes of a higher grade or what I'm thinking, most of us old copper guys don't like slabbed stuff although I have a few myself :-) Thanks for the comments! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 09:06 am You are absolutely correct Celticsoul - I forgot that we need to feel 'close' to our coppers! Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 03:46 am There are some coins that just should not be confined in plastic, they need to breathe fresh air. Report this Post to the Staff
