a cool piece purchased from CRO a few years ago.
$1,500
Paypal preferred by Money Order accepted as well. 5 Day Returns accepted.
Trade for Gold a possibility as well.
I worked with fellow board member tmot99 to build a custom holder for this which contains the original Ford Auction Envelope / Insert.
It's an amazing presentation and great quality... Has the look and feel of something you would see in a Museum!
Many Kudos to Tom for a fantastic product!
etched on the holder is the following historical info:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Higley" Coppers were named after Dr. Samuel Higley (1687-1737) of Simsbury (now East Granby), Connecticut.
Produced in 1737 - 1739, these pieces represent the first copper coins struck in North America.
Today approximately 75 original pieces exist and the Higley Coppers are one of the classic rarities in the American colonial series.
In 1864, John bolen of Springfield, Massachusetts recreated dies of the 1737 Higley VALUE OF THREE PENCE copper.
Examples were struck in copper and brass, with a few additional pieces produced in silver.
Today perhaps one dozen pieces survive in silver.
