Very excited about my first post-colonial coin. A Washington cent 1783. "Unity States of America". KM#Tn39. Quite worn but love this little piece of early American history. Appreciate any comments on grade, other interesting info/trivia or retail value. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't know enough to say for certain if it's real, but what you appear to have is this: https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explor...shington-and-independence-1c-ms-coinid-108378 Your piece is damaged, low grade, and looks like it might have been heavily tooled on the obverse, but still maybe worth $25 or so.
Personally, I'd put it in the $75-$100 range. These are quite popular among collectors of early coppers. Problem-free, mid-grade specimens generally fetch $300 or more. I paid $100 for a similar, low grade, yet undamaged piece a few years ago. I've spotted relatively few of these at shows in comparison to the state coppers.
Here is another early american copper, although made in England [emoji4] Nova constellatio 1783 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm not sure where the Nova Constellatio coins were made. The patterns were made in England but the circulating coppers may have been made here. Or they may not, I really am not sure. Considering they were made over a four year period, they could have very well have been made here.
