I have a Hibernia like that, Well at least a little more than half of one, This coin is different
You can make out a tree on the one side, Kind of like a Christmas tree....

How about a 1776 New Hampshire Pine Tree copper?

If so, it's worth $20,000 in VG-8.

That'd be nice, huh?

I have a strong feeling that is what it is, Wonder what it's worth in G-4? I found it in Krause a little bit ago...... Say's it's very rare? Wonder what it would grade? And where in the world would i sell it?

Here is a pic of the coin I'm thinking about:

About 3/4 of the way down the page there is a picture. Look and see if it looks like that.
Could you please take some better quality pictures? It's hard to see the obverse.

What would it grade? I think P-01 right now, but I'd consult a coin conservation expert
and find out if if could be brought up to a G-4. I really don't know.

This coin is Extremely Rare. If you get the coin conserved, then get it graded by a
reputable company and then consign it to an auction house - I'd say several thousand
at least.

All of this is my opinion, I could be wrong. Plus, I really can't see the coin.

Hope this helps.

oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! where did you get that?!!! when i saw that second image-- with what looks very convincingly like
the New Hampshire pine tree-- all i could think was "naaaaaah, it can't be!" I agree with the others-- get that thing authenticated!

I believe there were lots of them New Hampsta "Pine Trees" struck around the Centennial, in 1876. Copies, in other words. Old copies, now, which might be collectible in their own right, but not in that grade. I strongly doubt it is an original 18th century one.

Then again... you never know.

Speaking of that link that dcamp78 posted, I just sold a "Bristol Farthing" like the one shown right above the Pine Tree copper on that page. And one of the other tokens from that lot turned out to be the fourth or fifth known specimen. Y'all may recall my happy surprise when it did a skyrocketing leap in the last minute of the eBay auction.

Dave,

Thank you for the link, I'm not much of a gambling man, , However i agree it has some very likely similiaritie's. I got the coin out of a lot of coin's i bout on eBay last year. I'll have to go to my safe today and see if i can pull it out. I think the seller's name was bobrick, He usually has a great deal on Dug and colonial coin's. I have pulled several rarity's out of that lot. That is where i got the 1873 PIO, 10 Centavo's, He is a great seller. Very prompt.

Thank's to all, Brad.....
