<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7578796, member: 110350&quot;]I don&#039;t think 17th-century English coins were commonly in circulation in 19th century Maryland!&nbsp; Especially buried in a 17th-century cellar of a fort that was only in use for a limited period of time. It wasn&#039;t found lying on the ground or just under the surface. Or in England. As the article explains, the coin simply confirms that this was a very early fort, because by the time later ones were built, English coins like that weren&#039;t being used as currency at all; they had been replaced by tobacco.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that 1633 is considered &quot;early modern&quot; for England, numismatically and otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
