[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 24619595, member: 8959"]You have a very nice collection of colonials, @Mlguy, congratulations! and also for your very interesting write-up. You have a very wide variety of coins, covering most of the types and States which issued coinage before the US mint started operations in 1793. (you mentioned a R.I Token? - did you show it?). What are my thoughts on pre-federal coinage? well, I am keenly interested in U.S history (even though I am a "foreigner":), and do not live in the United States). I collect Spanisch Colonial coins as well as early United States coins. Therefore, the coins which circulated in America before 1793 are a natural extension of my collecting field, and one which I enjoy very much. These are some of the coin in my collection. Yes, I did splurge once back in 2007 and bought a MA silver piece (my wife will still not let me forget it). The other piece I have in my collection which has great significance to me is a William Pitt farthing, primarily due to its association with the Stamp Act and the impact that had on events leading onto the American Revolution. The majority of these I found locally in Europe, and most of them are not slabbed.
