TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 8:51 pm I've been watching these for a long time hoping to get a deal on one. Nice snag! Circulated in Canada as well, if not moreso. 1767 French Colonies West Indies copper SOU RF republic france countermark. Those without the RF fetch more in same grade as those with. Decent example. I see it is slabbed, so I am going to venture it has a grade of Fine. How'd I do? Edited by TNG 06/06/2017 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 8:58 pm A bit off. It's graded vf-30 by NGC. These things are so primitive and crudely struck I don't see how anyone can grade them accurately. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 9:59 pm See that edit up there? I did give it a VF first. LOL I went the wrong way. That's a dandy! Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 10:56 pm This one is a decent specimen. These pieces typically demonstrate much wear and/or damage. Personally, I'd grade this one Fine-12 with an above average planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 06/07/2017 9:56 pm Thanks for the comment EXoguy! I wasn't looking to spend a ton. I thought the coin was cool because of the history and the 'Colonies' reference on the reverse. I'll post a pic when it comes in. Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 06/07/2017 11:11 pm Thanks bro. I always watch the colonials that come up for auction on Heritage. Whenever I see one that I haven't seen before, it strikes my interest. The au and ms coins that fall into this category always sell for thousands. I don't have enough conviction to spend that kind of money. But vf coins for a couple hundred are far more palatable. Edited by MikeF 06/07/2017 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
