bobh Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hey gang! This just showed up in the mail this morning.... I have been looking for a good one of these for a customer. I thought Id share this truly historical piece! What a coin!! Thanks, LD! It is truly mind-boggling to see something like this in such good shape. I only own one Connecticut copper coin from 1787. One of these days, I might start getting into the Early Colonial stuff ... do you specialize in these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 lately I have been specializing in early American. No so much colonials but more early federal issue stuff. I had several customers come to me looking to invest some money in coins and my thinking was that early American was a good place to do so.

Vfox Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Does this mean you're updated your ad/sig? Hehe. I love how wonky these early American issues look. When you compare them to coins from Spain, France, nearly ALL of Europe really...they just seem so amazingly primitive. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
