<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1458293, member: 15199&quot;]I am sorry, where are my manners. Welcome to the Forum!</p><p><br /></p><p>Breen is the author of &quot;Breen&#039;s complete encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial coins&quot;. There are better references on the colonial coins, but I don&#039;t have those at hand. Perhaps a specialist will come to our aid. There are more than 10 varieties of the coin, and this has a period after the &quot;Massachusetts&quot; ( others have no&nbsp; period there) and the&nbsp; last 2 &quot;S&quot; in Massachusetts are called open rather than closed ( which resembles the number 8, the serifs are sp close). I do not collect colonials, but do know that counterfeits are known, and verification should be by experts. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
