What drew you to this particular coin?
Haha, I've dipped my fingers in some 20th century world coins, but I only have a handful. I've always found 17-18th century copper very intriguing. I pulled the trigger on this particular coin because of the nice even wear and color.
Nice coin. There are some interesting late 18th and early 19th century copper/bronze that are quite attractive and worth looking for at various grade levels... best wishes in you future pursuit of similar type coinage

That's a wonderful coin. Few of us started off in a place as nice as that.
