[QUOTE="GeorgeM, post: 8089582, member: 28550"]This one's a bit rough. I'm not familiar with the series, but I'm fairly confident on the 1788 date. The horse's head on this piece doesn't seem to match either variety listed in the RedBook for that year though - it seems more naturalistic to me to be the Serpent Head or Camel Head. I'm still learning on post Colonial coppers - and it's a steep curve. In particular, I'm curious about which identifiers you key into, and what grade you would assign this (along with the signs that point you there).
