Student: You are essentially applying historical political terminology to the hobby. While you are not technically "wrong", you should be using known and accepted numismatic terminology. Typically people use the terms: colonial, post colonial, pre-federal, and federal. What "historical political terminology" am I applying? I just objected to using the term colonials to coins produced 11 years after the colonies ceased to exist.  Also I am baffled by the claims that we ceased to be colonies and became a nation on September 3, 1783 instead of July 4, 1776. I wonder if the folks who think we became independent in 1783 objected to the over 2 billion coins produced celebrating our nation's bicentennial in 1976, or wish that our independence day holiday was celebrated on September 3 instead of July 4 every year. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

What I wrote speaks for itself and what Conder wrote is also correct. If you cannot comprehend that, I cannot help you.

It certainly does speak for itself  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

So did anyone pick up any of these? I wanted a Connecticut, but forgot about the sale, as I was distracted by Irma, and now I'm bummed.  Edited by Beefer518

No, None for me. I threw it out there for you guys b/c I detected an unusual spike in lowgrade colonials. I wish I would have followed them to check the values realized. I imagine buyers did very well with such a large lowgrade set flooding the market.
Hope other fellow members were able to capitalize on it.

@numismatic student: I would appreciate it if you refrained from hijacking my posts. Turning them into some type of aesthetic theatre accomplishes NOTHING.
