An addition to the colonial set.

I have wanted a coin from the Machin's mills Newburgh mint for a while, and finally picked one up from the Reeded Edge. this one is a Vlack 19-87 C I think, and usually comes nice. Dies made by James Atlee, it is believed. The reverse die was a workhorse and used to strike multiple varieties. This one is graded VF35 by PCGS.

Nice just be careful with the colonial coppers.. they are very addictive and often lead you on to civil war tokens and hard time tokens too lol

 

Cool! Make me more!!!
Love Colonial coppers.

 

It is a little known fact that lip plumping treatments were available in 1787. I think they used pork fat at the time.

 

Really? That's why his lips are so plump? Pork fat? Why didn't they think to use their own fat?

 

Surprisingly, the condition is better than the few that I have seen, congrats.

 

You got a nice one! Congratulations on the pickup.

 

Beauty of a coin! I've always been fascinated by these!

 

Confirmed as 19-87C and the late die state of it. I've been looking for a nice Machin's Mills for some time but just haven't found the right one yet.

Glad you found a nice example.

 

I have had this Machin's Mills piece for many years. It would never get a straignt grade, but it pleases. me.
