[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1930791, member: 30970"]Hi guys, Picked this one up at the San Jose coin show on saturday. Had a really fun time. Ended up selling 2 colonials (Massachusetts and the "1783" Washington). That gave me enough cash to pick up this guy, a Kentucky colonial. I really like the reverse design on this one, how there are 15 stars with the initials of the "states" (or is it territories? Colonies? I think the coin was struck 1792-1794, maybe someone can refresh my memory). And just to clarify, the anomaly on the reverse from about 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock is a shadow from it being in the slab. I had originally gone to the show to pick up an AU coronet large cent but most of the stuff was out of my price range. I'll scour ebay for a cheaper one perhaps... So now that I have Kentucky crossed off my list, suggestions on which colonial I should possibly acquire next? I've already possessed the following in my collection: "1783" washington 1783 Nova Constellatio 1786 Nova Caesarea 1787 Nova Caesarea 1787 Massachusetts 1787 Fugio 1788 Connecticut Anyways, here is the coin... :) [ATTACH=full]333026[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
