<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1127870, member: 11521&quot;]It&#039;s not every day someone walks into a coin shop with a raw, R-8 Colonial Copper. This coin has an interesting history.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=18435" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=18435" rel="nofollow"><font face="Arial">Copper Rarity Shows Up in N.H. Coin Shop</font></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I looked through some old Red Books and found the following regarding the 1787 NY Indian w/ George III Reverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1960 Red Book (and earlier editions) lists the coin as unique.</p><p>The 1963 Red Book notes 2 known examples. (I couldn&#039;t place my hands on a 1961 or 1962 Red Book to see which edition first listed 2 known examples.) </p><p>The Red Book lists 2 known examples through the 1978 edition.</p><p>The 1979 Red Book notes 3 known examples. </p><p>The 2008 Red Book (my most recent edition) still lists 3 known examples.</p><p>So apparently no new examples have surfaced in over 30 years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin in the article - if the information in the article is reasonably correct - is apparently the second known example. The article said the current owner had the piece authenticated in 1970 or later. But, a second example was known when the 1963 Red Book was printed (in 1962) so something is incorrect with that timeline.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
