[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 862161, member: 23874"]Pictured is a 1763 Maria Theresa 1-Poltura that arrived today... As with a thread that I posted yesterday with a Scottish Bawbee, 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 also discovered during the renovation of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. As with the Bawbee, the discovery confirmed that at least one specimen [of this type] had been indeed in circulation sometime in Virginia's colonial times. Though the specimen is quite worn, I believe it does make for a somewhat satisfactory addition to my [I]"Colonial Williamsburg"[/I] collection. Any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and welcomed! Thanks, kindly CheetahCats[/QUOTE]
