    It was marked “1723 Irish Halfpenny” and the price on the holder was $14. It was in a half price world coin box. There was a lot of stuff in there I shouldn’t have passed up on.

    It has Fine or even VF details but I doubt it would straight grade because of the porosity. Most of the PCGS and NGC examples I looked at had clean surfaces.

    Here’s a PCGS Red example: https://coins.ha.com/itm/colonials/...13120-r4/a/1204-3822.s?hdnJumpToLot=1&x=0&y=0
    Pretty amazing that a copper coin from 1723 can survive in full Red.

    Heres a pine tree shilling that was minted on us soil in the late 1600s, it has a counter-stamp, probably someones initials.

    My late detecting buddy, Tim Buck, who lived up in the Northeast, used to find some really cool stuff.

    But he was always very understated and soft-spoken.

    Just before his untimely death, he posted a short little summary of his final season.

    Very short. Like three words.

    "Here's some silver", he said, or something to that effect. And then a couple of pictures. And that was all.

    But then you start noticing stuff in the pictures.

    Look real carefully in there. @SensibleSal66 - you should get a kick out of this.

    Yep, ol’ Tim definitely went out with a bang, you might say. He found all that in the course of one Spring. RIP, man.

    Of course if *I* had been the one who dug all that stuff in the short span of a few months, I’d have keeled over myself- in delighted surprise. But I’d have died happy.

    everything minted in the us (ie state coinage) up to 1793 is classified as "post colonial" but is included in colonials by pcgs and ngc (not sure about the others) The pine tree shilling, and the 1722 rosa americana are just 2 others that i know of included in that catagory
