Got my first colonial in the mail also today. It's a Washington piece. Colonials are interesting and historic, i may need to get some more. They are also a bargain for a lot of them.

Now for your reading pleasure....Washington Military Bust Tokens

I think you'll find this interesting..

Gorgeous coin!, Congradulations. I love Colonials and Washington Busts in particular.
Have fun with it and your future acquisitions., I agree, books on Colonials are at least have the fun.

I need to pick up one of those too. Of course I also need to get my first gold also.

Colonials are great both from a numismatic and historical perspective.

Colonials are really great. I studied a few and learned quite a lot from US history (I'm 15 and live in Holland)

Nice token. Not colonial. Struck in England in the late teens early 1820's.

Oh, yeah, just go and rain on my parade.

I also love "Colonials" even though most of the coins/tokens that fall under that general heading are from after the Colonial period. Actually, a true "Colonial" coin type set is pretty small-- if your definition of 'Colonial' is a coin/token specifically struck in or for the American Colonies during the Colonial period.
The more affordable of such pieces would be Virginia Halfpennies and Rosa Americana tokens-- the others are pretty scarce, pretty costly.
