First of all.......awesome Nova
Secondly, please sell it to me.
Awesome!! My guess on the grade is MS-63. Incredible.

I just attempted to have the MS64 (Garrett "one pictured") Nova upgraded to a higher grade, since it had a green label and I had an extra $50.00 burning a hole in my pocket, and PCGS turned me down. Do you believe it? That is one quality coin!!! I compared it to my other Novas that were MS63 and it far out graded them. Either the MS63s were misgraded or the MS64 should be upgraded.

I do have a 1785 MS63BN Pointed Ray that I might be able to part with for the right price. I own 2 at present with a PCGS pop of 2/0.

As for other colonials....
I have a few to mention.
1773 1/2 Penny Virginia, period MS64RD
1792-4? Lancaster (Kentucky) Cent MS65RD
The rest are below MS mint state.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
And the Oak Tree Two Pence
I emailed you at your sevenoften address.

Surely it has to be a 19th Century or maybe early 20th Century fantasy piece, but I like to dream that it's a 17th Century contemporary counterfeit. I'd feel more confident of that if there were any kind of patina or veridgris on it.
Beautiful coins. I could only dream to ever own any of those!!!!!!!!!

Can you add a picture of your MS65 RD Kentucky token? I've seen a couple of these in that grade and I think they are stunning coins!
I also saw a Talbot in a high-grade RD holder at a FUN show that was equally beautiful. I like the Kentucky tokens in virtually any grade but the Talbot never appealed to me until I saw the very high-grade example.

P.S.: I also own a MS64 RD Virginia 1/2 Penny, but I don't think that coin is as neat as your Kentucky token. So, any chance of a picture? Please?....
Brian.

Now, mind you, mine aren't Redbook "colonial" varieties, but they are colonials.
They are not stunning high grade pieces, either- some would call them ugly- but they came out of the dirt beneath my feet. The 1782 Hibernia, while not a valuable coin in the least, is possibly my favorite detector find. Sentimentally, it's more valuable to me than the 1805 gilt proof Hibernia in my icon.
