Even that one is almost dateless :lol:

Wow, they graded it as AU? The front looks quite nice but the back is a bit worn.

That is one nice coin. I have dug a couple but they are all in very poor condition. I still would not trade them for anything! LOL Part of the fun of the hobby, you just never know what that next 'Beep' will provide!

Wow that is a nice coin. Amazed at how high the grade was...and even more amazed at the sale price. I do not plan on selling any of my coins but if I ever found one that I knew I could get a nice wad of cash for then I might be tempted to sell. But for now I plan to give mine to my kids one day...maybe.

Yes Jim , Colonial coins are not graded or held to the same criteria scale as modern coins and rarity can play a huge part on its price tag.
