I only have one, at 1798 Large Cent, one of the more affordable 18th century U.S. coins to be had in lower grades. OP: You might want to create anonymous polls for these types of questions. I can see why some may be hesitant in answering. Quote:

No U.S. coins, probably over 100 World coins.

Quote:I have a rare Jefferson nickel that was made in 1738 What is the Mint Mark on that one?  As to to how many I have in the 1700's, don't know. Never counted them. Not sure but I think I have some US coins from the 1500's. |

I have one that's BU. I can't remember the date or the design or the denomination but it's got the word "Copy" stamped into it. You'd think I'd remember more specific details about a really cool coin like that, wouldn't you...?

You mean, like, dated 1793-1799? Before that there ain't none "US" coins. Or do you mean coins that circulated in the territories that became the US having a date indicating that they were made in the 1700's? Or do you mean coins minted in the 1700's in a territory that eventually became the United States? Does Puerto Rico count?

True the government under the Articles of Confederation, but still the US government. Oh, and I just added two more. Edited by Conder101

British and Colonial Spanish coins of the 1700's are a legitimate part of pre Independence coinage heritage, and, as such, should be legitimately collected.
