<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wandering Man, post: 3903686, member: 107037&quot;]I am starting a collection of family birth-year coins, and am not sure how far back I want to go.</p><p><br /></p><p>To date, the oldest birth year I have is my maternal great-great-great grandfather, born in 1794 in Pennsylvania.&nbsp; He fought in the War of 1812.&nbsp; While I haven&#039;t yet collected any coins from that year, I do have a list of coins that were minted then.&nbsp; I suspect some of the coins will always be out my reach.&nbsp; But at least I know what they look like.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can go back one more generation to my maternal great-great-great-great grandfather, born in 1761, born in Lancaster, PA.&nbsp; He fought in the Revolutionary War under George Washington.&nbsp; Obviously no U.S. coins were minted back then.&nbsp; The Red Book offers some idea of the coins used back then.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just wondering what suggestions this group might have for me, if I decide to delve into Colonial coins from 1761.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
