<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SensibleSal66, post: 7480114, member: 115232&quot;]We often talk about copper coins from the 17 and 1800&#039;s . My question is where did the majority of the copper come from ? The U.S, England or somewhere else ? </p><p>&nbsp;I only know of one such copper mine in Connecticut at an old mine in the Simsbury Mine . The prisoner&#039;s would mine the Copper ore from a site just adjacent to the Prison. Here are some Pics . Also I have linked some info. on the Mine. <a href="https://www.ctvisit.com/listings/old-new-gate-prison-copper-mine" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ctvisit.com/listings/old-new-gate-prison-copper-mine" rel="nofollow">Old New-Gate Prison &amp; Copper Mine | Visit CT (ctvisit.com)</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1294465[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1294466[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1294467[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1294468[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
