Just picked her up on ebay for $18!
Have NO idea how much its worth, but just wanted something cool for my collection. Technically, though, it didnt cost me anything because $20 just arrived for me today as a birthday present from one of my relatives

That's a deal for $18.

Can't tell on the reverse yet, maybe when I get home. That super narrow waist is probably diagnostic. Looks like a 30 or 33 obverse.

You did very well with this purchase.

I'm from CT and when I wanted to buy a CT Colonial I turned to vermontensium as he is the expert. Using his expertise I now have several as these are great old copper coins. - see my avatar.

Nice buy! I'd have paid $18 easily, although I don't really know much about colonials either except what's in the Red Book.
