Thanks for the info !

Thanks aloldstuff, Bell-Two and OxShoeDrew !

:shocked03::shocked04: Where to begin with this one.. Wow.. One of the best hunts I've ever seen. All the coppers are gorgeous especially the Jersey, they are beautiful coins to begin with, and when they have that much detail with that green patina they just pop! Your shilling is just amazing, being found over here in the colonies makes it all the better. I'll have to get the source on this, but I read somewhere that in the early 1700s Britain passed an act where British silver couldn't be brought into the colonies for commerce because it was depleting the British silver supply. I would think this coin was an Early arrival that saw lots of circulation. I'll see if I can get the source, what a once in a lifetime find!! Congrats again!

Here's the link, the info is in the first paragraph http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCurrency/...ntroValue.html
