Is this a niche collecting field?


Colonial Numismatics is a specialty area in a sense. I would say they are the least collected coins in the " Red Book" There were many different coins used in the American Colonies brought over from England, Ireland, France to name a few, with a few entrepreneurs who came to the Colonies and contributed in minting coins during the Confederation period.
There are many die pairings and varieties, especially in the Connecticut Coppers, that you can literally take a lifetime assembling a complete collection, if ever. Then there is the crudeness of some.
There is something about these old copper coins that just makes you wonder if George Washington or Paul Revere or Ethan Allan etc..could have held these coins.

WOW....I love it. I enjoy history, and that year there is a VERY significant year for our country. The framing and ratification of the Constitution. Who knows who may have handled that baby at one point in time.
