57,000 Post Celebration-Colonial Copper

Just hit that number. I must have too much time on my hands. That’s what I get for retiring. Lol

A nice Post-Colonial issue. A 1787 Connecticut Copper Coin. With bust facing left. It’s the most common but it’s in decent condition. It’s still in the original flip from when I bought it from the mid 1990’s.

How do you find time, between opening all those boxes?

 

Congrats!! I'll get there someday. Nice coin!!

 

Must be an octopus

 

I didn’t make it. I just opened a box and there is was. It’s the easy way to do it. Work smarter, not harder. Lol

 

It took years to get to this point.

 

No, just retired. Lol

 

Hey @Collecting Nut? Now you have to figure the Variety?? Or you already done that?

 

We need to fact facts folks - @Collecting Nut is super human.

 

Congratulations CN

 

I’m not into doing that. I just collect the coin. No edge letters though.

 

At this point I'm going around to neighbor's home asking they have any old boxes needing checking got contents.

 

This is only some of the boxes I need to go through.

 

Trying to do some quick mental calculations about crush strength to figure out just how much stuff is in some of those boxes -- looks like it's NOT ones and twos!

 

I have found some paper money in the ones I’ve opened and they were still in pristine condition. However there are mostly coins and some of those boxes are pretty darn heavy. And it’s not my age which is making them heavy,

 

Congratulations on the posts.

 

Thank you all. It’s taken years. Lol

 

I'd be happy to take a few "random" boxes off your hands lol

 

Congrats CN! I'm only about 55,000 posts behind you!!!! I just can't catch you!!! lol

 

I can’t imagine why.
