    Hey everyone!

    I have not seen another one of these on the forum since I posted my last one a couple of years ago, so I just thought I'd go ahead and post a second one I just acquired. Its a 1787 Plebis Cent, very unique to have and interesting to look up on :)

    Nice old coin Ryan. I used to collect colonials and had some nice pieces but no Auctori Plebis. I had a nice Elephant token, some Connecticuts, Franklin Press, Washington pieces and a bunch of others. Unfortunately, I had to sell my collection a few years ago.Paying the mortgage is more important than having the coins, so I did what I had to do. Thanks for posting it...brings back some good memories.

    That's really nice to hear Bruce. I love the elephant tokens myself and am lucky to have 3 at the moment. Most colonial coins like those are really hard to acquire and so it feels great to own one. Let me know if you get back into colonial's, it's nice to chat about them.

    Great coin Ryan. I know these are pretty hard to find in decent condition, and you're looks very nice.
