<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 861350, member: 23874&quot;]Pictured is a 1678 Scottish Bawbee (sixpence) that I acquired today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pursuant to <u>Numismatic Notes and Monographs, No. 135, Coinage for Colonial Virginia</u>, Eric P. Newman, (c)1956, pg.33, a specimen of this type and year was discovered during the renovation of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.&nbsp; Such a discovery confirms that at least one specimen [of this type] had been indeed in circulation sometime in Virginia&#039;s colonial times.</p><p><br /></p><p>At present I do not have an attribution for this specimen, if indeed attributions have been documented or if in fact have been confirmed to exist.&nbsp; Further study in the matter is being conducted.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love that this specimen has retained it nice chocolate coloring and detail, and quite a bit of its design has remained intact.&nbsp; The dealer that I acquired it from graded it as an F+.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and welcomed!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, kindly</p><p><br /></p><p>CheetahCats[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
