<p>[QUOTE="linnybinny, post: 5161, member: 760"]<b>we might have a N.H coin...</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hi -- We've had a coin in our family, just sitting in a drawer, for many years without knowing that it might be a copper coin from New Hampshire. Tonight we were looking online for information on it, and ran across this message board. We realize that there were many copies made, but we still have hope! Our coin, however, does not have the harp on the one side that y'all were talking about. It has WM and American Liberty on one side, and the 9 pointed tree in a bowl on the other, with the numbers 1776. It looks really old -- the edges are smooth, though it is crude and dark. It appears to be copper that's very tarnished, but of course we don't dare to clean it just in case it is real! Also, the impression of the tree is not centered. It's about 2.3 cm wide and almost exactly the size of a modern quarter, though not as thick. Is it possible this is an authentic copper coin? Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
