<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SensibleSal66, post: 26505924, member: 115232&quot;]Hello all! It&#039;s &quot;Wishful Thinking Wednesday!&quot;. Post yours also.....</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Ever since I started Metal Detecting and learning some about the coins that circulated in America, I&#039;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&#039;s all mine and represents a piece of history. </p><p>&nbsp; Now, because they are rare, my Wednesday Wish is to own or find a &quot;Higley Copper&quot;. I know, wishful thinking Sal! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Hey! I had the opportunity to see and hold a genuine one that a fellow Detectorist found at our monthly meeting. Why can&#039;t I find one? I&#039;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&#039;m not greedy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s a &quot;crude&quot; coin or Token if you will, but very collectable to say the least. </p><p>&nbsp; So, being Wednesday, what is your wish, maybe for the holiday coming up numismatically speaking? Ask [USER=74863]@Collecting Nut[/USER]. He knows how many more days until the day arrives. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1689595[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp; Here is some basic info. on the coin:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; From the NE Historical Society. I couldn&#039;t find that much on these coins. I think UCONN library has something though. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/higley-copper-coins-connecticuts-rare-exciting-and-historic-penny/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/higley-copper-coins-connecticuts-rare-exciting-and-historic-penny/" rel="nofollow">Higley Copper Coins: Connecticut’s Rare, Exciting and Historic Penny - New England Historical Society</a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1689594[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
