Mine was in New York, already on the third generation in this country. The original progenitor of my family arrived at Raccoon Creek, Maryland on the ship Kent in August of 1677 and quickly moved to Hempstead, NY, where he made rope for a living. His children already had children when that coin was minted.
I just think it's pretty cool to wonder if any of my ancestors ever used that coin to buy something.

Some of my ancestors were here for many centuries (or even mellenia) as I have two tribes of Inidan in me
Most of my family was still in England, Germany, Ireland, and several other smaller European countries.
At the time of those really cool coins, my family was either still in Europe or fighting the whiteman in the new world.

They moved to Penn. in about 1740 and then to Rutherford, NC in about 1770. I was born in 1946 in Morganton, NC which is not far from there.
So the answer is Manmouth, NJ.
