US Colonial pieces have always been some of my fave. My very first one was also A Nova Caesarea.

 

Nice,I still need one,got outbid on one not to long ago over a buck!!!disappointing it would've been my first.

 

I love it! Then again I'm partial to coins with horses.

 

Nice!

Looks like a Maris 63-s

 

I haven't really focused on dies yet but I'm interested. Right now I am looking to get a serpent a camel..a deer ect... kinda dumbed down set?

But what can you tell me about it? Is it rare?

 

(Almost) everything I know about 'em come from here: https://coins.nd.edu/colcoin/colcoinintros/NJ-Copper.intro.html

 

Wow. That's alot of information.

 

Definitely 63-s, one of the more common varieties. Decent detail on that one, rough surfaces but that is not unusual on these.

 

I'm partial to the New Jersey coppers as well, although, I don't have many of them.

 

That horse was the one pulling the plow that’s under the horse. Lol

 

I only have one for type. I have owned two others. Most interesting one was the "Camel Head" variety which was stuck over another coin. Here's the only one I have now. This was stuck at the Morristown, New Jersey Mint. I lived outside of Morristown in the 1970s which one of the reasons why I still have it.

 

Ya... those are way higher grade. Very very nice both of them.

If I know me I will own a few more once I dial in on what I want. Sometimes something pops up on this board that helps. Thanks so far guys ...keep it coming!

 

This is one I looked at but went with the lesser example. Still might.

 

For the Colonial coinage, I'm just happy to have some. Never was too concerned with condition. I think just having it says a lot.

 

I like that one. Good color and hard surfaces. If the price is reasonable, it is a good buy.

 

It's 550.00 OBO

 

Nice coin, but $550 is way too high. It is a 48-g, another very common variety.
