Although it does have some surface granulation due to environmental damage, there is no sign of active verdigris. While I am certain that it probably would make a details grade of VF, I know nothing of varieties of these coins. Does anyone have any educated guesses? Also, would anyone know the general value of my coin? Thanks! Edited by Archraz 07/29/2015 6:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

In fact, on the reverse "Hibernia" side, the surface texture is barely noticeable. Honestly, I'm rather surprised that as a colonial it would be deemed an atypical example - it seems like I see lots of Britannia-type Connecticut half pence with surface troubles. Yet, collectors seem to pay no mind. Report this Post to the Staff
