<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 969291, member: 66&quot;]He is right on the first piece, the second piece is a 1773 Virginia halfpenny.&nbsp; You&#039;ll find it listed in the Redbook under the colonial issues.&nbsp; Virginia was the only colony that had the right to produced coins listed in their charter.&nbsp; They had the halfpenny pieces made in Birmingham England but they arrived here just about the time the Revolutionary War was breaking out so they were stored away for a few years and didn&#039;t realy start circulating until the 1780&#039;s.&nbsp; To a large extent they stopped circulating during the copper panic of 1790.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
