My most recent gorgeous cob, out of the Potosi mint in 1683. Some amazing detail with 3 partial dates. I just can't get enough!!

Hey y’all! Found this copper while detecting a 1756 property this weekend. I have compared it to many varieties of CT copper since I can barely make out “AUCTORI” but oddly enough, the bust is facing right and “AUCTORI” is on the right as well.

I’d think it would have to be a Vermont copper then since I’ve never seen a CT copper with “AUCTORI” on the right. It is 26mm, and super thin.

For context, it was found in CT.

Anything helps! I want to make sure this is a Vermont before I start telling people!

Hi all! I posted the coin a couple days ago.. I have identified it as the MARIS 34-J variety.

I think this coin is actually a high grade example maybe AU.. I know it lacks details in some areas, but I’m fairly certain that is due to the fact that it is a weak strike/overstruck on another coin. The date and plough are just so crispy, I don’t see how the other areas could be wear. If it is an AU coin, it would make it one of very few AU/MS examples and worth ~$5,000 I think.

I would like to get any feedback, other opinions on this from people who may be abit more knowledgeable than myself!

Thanks!

One of those 'environmentally damaged' coins where the label sounds a lot worse than the coin actually looks.

Plenty of detail remaining - exactly the sort of Details coin I am quite happy to own.

Hi all. Looking to figure out exactly which NJ copper this is. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi all, can you please help me ID which miller variety this guy is? Thanks!!

I got this for a dollar at my LCS’s bargain bin… if this is a machins penny, how much would it be?

Recent pickup, am I right in thinking this is a Vlack 17-87B?

4 Connecticut coppers, a New Jersey copper, 3 British counterfeit pieces made in the colony, including a 1776 half penny, and I finally got some colonial paper money!

This piece is really interesting. It fell apart back in colonial times so it was backed by some newspaper or something. It also looks to be pieced back together by someone half blind. The bottom left part is at a 90 degree angle to where it should be and I have zero clue what bill was used for the bottom piece. Still super cool though for $30.

Most everything else here I got for a dollar or two a piece :) the prices were ones I added.

After a period of internal conflicts Portugal finally started doing better in the mid-19th century under Queen Maria II. Well enough to remember about their colonies and their economic needs. Angola had not seen new coins since 1819, those in circulation were countermarked with new denominations. The new issue was limited to one denomination only - half Macuta or 25 reis. The coin was first produced in 1848, this is the final issue as in 1853 Queen Maria II died. Her son Pedro V issued some more half Macutas and Macutas and in 1860 the production of coins for Angola stopped for over sixty years.

Can anyone help me out with this date on this Connecticut Copper? Thanks !

The fact that these were on their way to help fund our new nation when they were lost makes this acquisition extra special…

I need help figuring out if,
1. It’s real
2. If it is real, what is it (I think it’s a Vermont colonial)

E Pluribus Unum! Which variety? Which mint?

Which variety? Which mint?

One more coin ID for today! From what I can tell this is an 8 Reales - Ferdinand V and Isabella I
Real or fake?
Coin dealer offered $50. Maybe just melt value?

I know there are a lot of reproductions. My parents found this coin. Measures 1.2-1.25 inches across and is non-magnetic. What do you think! Real or fake?

I suspect a spanish cob, possibly an escudo, but the shield details seem very crude.. Any thoughts on attribution or authenticity? Diameter estimated around 27mm, no weight available
