The latest addition to my collection

[BOILER78]

With the addition of this coin my Colonial collection is now up to a whopping 3 coins!

 

 

Here is the entire "collection"

 

 

I am still trying to define my collection but I know I don't have the time or the resources to collect this area extensively. I am thinking 6-8 major types to represent this area of numismatics. Possibly a Continental dollar/ Nova/ New Jersey/ Vermont/ and Connecticut.

 

I am open to suggestions here. Any recommendations on what to include or exclude?

Very nice set. I would say go for ALL of them! (thumbs u

[123cents]

You know how to pick them. Great looking set!

[physics-fan3.14]

I LOVE that shilling

[dean1345]

I love all of them. Great color on each.

[Elbesaar]

 

Boiler,

 

Excellent coins, all.

 

Coming from Massachusetts originally,

I love the Half Cent and the Shilling.

 

 

[Coindude]

Dude... will you adopt me?

[robec1347]

Any recommendations on what to include or exclude?

 

Yes! Please include me in your give away.

 

Spectacular coins!!

[Coindude]

I've always enjoyed the New England issues... the six pence and the shilling.

 

Bar Cents have always been among my favorite colonial issues as well. Would you consider a bar cent as colonial?

 

Anyhow, since I'll most likely never be able to afford at least the NE issues... I'll have to live vicariously through Boilers when he acquires such.

 

Love your coins there Boiler, you definitely have an eye for exceptional appeal.

[BOILER78]

Bar cent........ excellent suggestion! Thanks Coindude Any other inputs?

[kryptonitecomics]

Brasher Doubloon?

 

Seriously though.....possibly a 1781 Libertas Americana Medal, elephant token or Church penny with the D of course

[EZ_E]

A Continental Dollar is a must! If I had your resources then I'd love one of each composition.

 

And I agree, A Bar Cent is crucial for your set.

[Coindude]

a 1781 Libertas Americana Medal, elephant token

Ah yes, me loves the Libertas and the Elephant.

[World Colonial]

A colelctor would have to have some real money to buy some of the recomendation provided here. But the Continental Currency Dollar and Bar Cent are two of my favorites.

[Catbert]

I have always loved the design and the story behind the Rhode Island Ship medal:

P.S. BoilerUP!

[TomB]

That MA half cent is absolutely stunning.

[IGWT]

I've seen that Mass 1/2c somewhere before. As for suggestions:

 

[fishfinder]

Bravo Boiler, yours are some of the best coinage as I've ever seen

[michael]

i would buy a small planchet pine tree shilling

 

they are much MUCH scarcer in xf and and above than the large planchet

 

of course get one well centered

 

as well centered; xf/au and above is RARE!!

 

 

 

 

 

[Coindude]

Speaking of the Americana, a small group just became available ATS. Not a horrible price either I must add.

you have one of the best eyes in numismatics, that is a FACT!

Awesome coins Boiler. I will add those to the long list of coins to see if I ever get to the Cornbelt Smithsonian.
