I am not too familiar with those. Are they the ones from Ireland?

Haha yes we are good at that. I might just buy one of those. Do you happen to know of any American Colonial coins on the cheap end?

Billy,
I have some others in my SDB. I will have to get them on Wed.
Yes, the Wood's Hibernia's are quite affordable, even in slightly higher grades, VF-XF.
The two on my ecrater site are quite void of detail hence the low price.
The Connecticuts are also quite affordable and some of the most readily available.

Yankee, depends on the grade you're going for. If you want a piece of "history" that was "there" and you don't care too much about damaged or ugly coins, a lot of colonial issues are easily in reach. You can get Connecticuts for $20-50, New Jerseys for $30-$60 and even Fugios for $80-100.
My favorite "colonial" right now is actually a colonial, rather than a post-colonial: the 1773 Virginia Halfpence. Check out the history - for a coin that got the blood boiling, that is easily identifiable and was THERE, right in the middle of the Continental Congress, they can be had for as little as $10.
($10 is hard to do, bought one a few weeks ago. $30-$40 is eminently do-able however, if you don't care too much about grade, you're patient, and you keep your eyes open!)

Beat me to it, I was going to suggest the Virgina half penny as well. The Nova Constellatios aren't bad either. Not the pattern pieces, the circulation issues of 1783 to 1786. The 86 is rare but the 83 and 85 aren't too bad.

Ok. I will have to look into the Nova Constellatios.
