Hello all! It's "Wishful Thinking Wednesday!". Post yours also..... Ever since I started Metal Detecting and learning some about the coins that circulated in America, I've been fascinated and determined to find some of these examples. One bucket lister that I had was finding a Fugio Cent and although in very, very bad shape, it's all mine and represents a piece of history. Now, because they are rare, my Wednesday Wish is to own or find a "Higley Copper". I know, wishful thinking Sal! Hey! I had the opportunity to see and hold a genuine one that a fellow Detectorist found at our monthly meeting. Why can't I find one? I'm not far from Granby, CT. Okay back to reality. If I had the funds or if Santa was listening, I would ask very nicely for a low grade Higley. I'm not greedy. It's a "crude" coin or Token if you will, but very collectable to say the least. So, being Wednesday, what is your wish, maybe for the holiday coming up numismatically speaking? Ask @Collecting Nut. He knows how many more days until the day arrives. Here is some basic info. on the coin: From the NE Historical Society. I couldn't find that much on these coins. I think UCONN library has something though.
