    I think someone was looking for a pineapple and wanted to spend a penny.

    Nice coin!

    The polar opposite of Miss Liberty: a slave. He serves. Not the most politically correct coin, but I've always liked them. I'd like to find a nice EF-UNC one day. That, and the Bahamian George III penny (halfpenny?) with the reference to piracy, and the 1793 Bermuda penny with the ship on the revese. I have a Bermuda penny that I got for a buck and a half, but as you might expect, it's holed and worn. Worn in more ways than one. (As in "slick" and also as in "fashion accessory"). image

    I've sold 4 or 5 of these in the last 6 months. ALL in better condition than this. This is expensive girls.

    Very interesting coin! Even though it's discolored and corroded, the detail's there. I paid way more than that for one in worn condition.

    Makes you wonder how much a pineapple went for in 1788...
