    I pulled the trigger on this one within minutes of the Coin Rarities Online Early Bird e-mail hitting my inbox. It looks nice next to the matching penny.

    I love the goldish/brassy color these "Bath metal" coins can have. Nice one.

    Yup, although I already have two other coins in the 1723 spot -- Rosa Americana penny and a British shilling.

    I'll put something together tonight. The designs are nearly identical, so the biggest difference between them is the size.

    ... and your personal thoughts of the 1717 Pre-Patterns in bath metal in terms of their REAL purpose?

    I believe Syndey Martin has more credibility than Walter Breen. I have no basis for disagreeing with what is said here.
