United States Colonial Copper Coins have been around since the early
1600's and stopped in the late 1700's. Many are very reasonable in circulated condition, such as the Hibernia's, Connecticuts, New Jersey's,
and select other issues in low grade. The 2007 Redbook, A Guide Book of
United States Coins, by R. S. Yeoman, has a wealth of information. Another very useful reference book is Walter Breen's out of print Complete Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins. Prices start at $20 or $25 and up
to hundreds of thousands of dollars. You must beward of counterfeits and buy from a reputable dealer. Some sellers have counterfeits for sale and
genuinely (pardon the pun) do not know. Many US Colonials are certified by third party independent grading services like NGC, NCS, and PCGS.
Many collectors actually prefer the non-certified coins, referred to as "raw"
coins.
