What is this Colonial coin worth!!! I think its from the early 17th or 18th century??

What would the value of this coin be!!! And what type of coin is it please help???

 

Maybe some kind of store card or token. Obverse looks like maybe Liberty cap on pole. Reverse looks like Irish harp possibly. I've never seen anything like it.

 

What type of error is on this 17th or 18th colonial coin!!! Bumpy surface

I just acquired this coin by luck , my fiancée and I were antiquing bought this old suitcase and inside a side pocket was a book in which I found this particular coin I don't know much about it but noticed the bumpy surface . What type of error is this and what can cause this bumpy surface????

Have you weighed it?

 

Corrosion??

 

Looks like a cast replica to me.

 

This link shows one that looks more similar to yours... http://numismatics.org/collection/1988.75.1

AE 1/2 penny of Walter Mould, United States, New Hampshire, 1776-1776.

I'm in agreement with CoinMike though... Looks like a replica to me as well.

 

yours is worth probably 150k.

 

Hey nice its a 1776 New Hampshire copper worth around $13,000

 

ca. mid 1970s cast replica of a New Hampshire copper worth about a quarter.

 

Does this coin (?) really need 3 threads?

 

With the rarity of such a coin, thousands of casted fakes have since then flooded the many markets to capitalize on the rare coin hype. With the all to common signs of a cast one can quickly conclude that this is just another foreign fake, also being found in a suit case from a flea market does not aid in its authenticity.

DDK, we do not need more than ONE thread per subject. I have merged them all together to show you how it causes double, even triple posting among members. Do not do this again!

I think its real. I would pay up to 5k for one of those.

 

I Believe this to be a colonial coin ?? Not sure Please help Never seen one l...

Looks like a cast copy to me...

 

I believe it is a copy also, but it will not be satisfactorily settled on this thread, and I truly hope that those giving positive backing to the coin and value are being truthful and not pulling the leg of the OP, that is not unexpected, but it is not nice either. Jim

 

I found this post from January from someone called "Magoo"...

...is this one of the posts that was combined with this one?

 

Genuine examples of this coin are cast but the design of the harp on the OP's coin is entirely different than the design on a legitimate coin, so I don't believe it's a counterfeit. BTW I don't know anything about colonials, although I'd like to learn, I pulled all of this information from pg. 242 of In Yankee Doodles Pocket.
