Colonial Coin Price

[Robert1963]

Hi all, I have a question that I know many of you will have an answer to. A while back someone said that my questions appeared that I had no collection plan and as now just like then I do not. Right now, I collect coins I should say purchase coins from Colonial to ancient and all the unique but not so collectable coins from the USA. Right now, I am looking for a Colonial coin (I usually only buy 1 of these types) I feel it could be a great deal but so many of you know so much more than me I must ask. I will try to upload photos or at the very least give you a link to the Ebay listing of the one I want. They are asking $62.00 for it and I would love to hear your advice. The link is:

I hope I can upload the images. Please let me know what you think of the coin and price. Thanks

That coin is damaged. Someone cut it (see the flat part?). 

I would absolutely avoid that coin.

That is also not a "Colonial" coin. That is a British Maundy piece. For a good overview of colonial types, refer to the early chapters of the Red Book. It was minted in 1762, so sure it was before our Revolution - but it was made in Britain for British use. There is absolutely nothing colonial about it. That seller is being intentionally deceptive and using keywords to increase search hits. 

Pass on the coin, pass on the seller.

I would definitely look for a better example. If you are looking for a colonial US piece I wouldn't think this would fit the bill since it was not intended to circulate in the United States. Maundy pieces from this era are quite available at reasonable prices so I wouldn't consider this one if it was me.
