[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7435270, member: 101855"]Here are a few coins that are called "colonials." This Massachusetts Half Cent is the highest grade piece I have from the period. It's graded MS-64, Brown and was a former NGC MS-65. It came from the Eric Newman collection. [ATTACH=full]1290298[/ATTACH] A Nova Constellatio Copper. These were struck in Birmingham, England and shipped to New York City to be circulated as private business venture. Robert Morris and Gouverneur Morris were among the investors. [ATTACH=full]1290300[/ATTACH] Here is a Virginia Half Penny. This one came from a hoard of several hundred Mint State pieces that was in a group that came to light in the 1870s. This one is PCGS graded MS-64, R&B. [ATTACH=full]1290304[/ATTACH] Here is a real colonial that is hard to find, a Lord Baltimore six pence. These coins were struck at the London Mint and shipped here for use in the Maryland colony. These pieces were issued in the 1660s. [ATTACH=full]1290302[/ATTACH] And here is a British coin similar to the pieces that have been dug out of the earth at Jamestown, a Queen Elizabeth I six pence. [ATTACH=full]1290303[/ATTACH] And these wompum beads are not coins, but they were money, at least in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for a while, circa 1640.
