I'm not collecting any particular pre-Federal or Colonial series at the moment but rather adding these coins to my US Type Set. But I also don't...

Speaking of good coin clubs: Every good LCC needs people to volunteer to do jobs and step up. I just decided the help man the club table at this...
Cool. Sounds like you have a good LCC.
If pre-federal and colonial coins interest you, then you can gain a lot of knowledge and many like-minded friends by joining the Colonial Coin...

@differential , I suggest you consult the better auction records (Heritage, Stacks, etc.) for photograding comparisons in order to determine the...

Thanks for sharing. Nice details.
Great coin and very nice for the grade.
