bill Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've only owned one colonial over the years, but I'm always tempted to start down the path. Great coins with lots of history behind them. I really like the New Jersey cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Here is the only real colonial I own. (At least I think, I will know once my new scale arrives if I have a few Mochin Mills or not, lol) This is a Connecticut cent I got out of a $0.25 bin, best find I've ever had out of one of those for sure!

Vfox Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 That was a connecticut cent as well, but it's so worn that online it's nearly impossible to tell what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Photo updates needed. It's on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Not much to contribute but here's what I got. 1740 Dutch Indies Company (AKA New York Cent) 1772 George III farthing 1775 Evasion George III half penny. A lot of contemporary counterfeits were made and used around this time. And maybe a match Vfox for your Connecticut cent 1787 barely recognizable.

Vfox Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Oh man, what an ancient thread! I love when these get resurrected. I've purchased a boatload of cheap colonial era coinage since this thread was started. I'll try an update with images soon. I know I've been scarce lately but I still lurk all the time.

Art1.2 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Oh man, what an ancient thread! I love when these get resurrected. Me too. The virtual museums are a nice part of the site and I enjoy scrolling though them every now and then. Unfortunately I have nothing to add to this particular thread. I've purchased a boatload of cheap colonial era coinage since this thread was started. I'll try an update with images soon. I know I've been scarce lately but I still lurk all the time. Can't wait to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 1787 Connecticut 1/2 penny Now there's a half penny that's earned its rest. I'll bet it would have some great stories to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing the New York Cent before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
