appreciate the info M-man; I did a little reading and found that the colonies were absolutely desperate for change and accepted known counterfeits...
Ya hey- Yeah, I tend to agree with you Mountain Man- during that time-frame there were quite a few contemporary counterfeits going on. And thank...
all the books have the bust facing right that year; for sure this is left. I saw someone sell one just like mine a couple of weeks ago on e-bay...

Very interesting reading, friend... I found myself "experiencing" all the fighting, sacking, killing, etc! This was a piece of "direct" history...

Hi all- I've tried looking this particular coin up, but have come up on a dead end (or several ends anyway...). If anyone has seen it or has an...
I found this online, maybe...?[ATTACH]
