NewP from Heritage Platinum Night Arrived today

This arrived today in the mail box. I've been wanting a nice example of this type coin for a while now.

As always questions and comments are welcome.

BTW if anyone could explain the value associated with the coppers when they were minted I would greatly appreciate it. I believe that they were an experiment in decimal coinage and valued differently depending on the state/common wealth you were in. But I'm having trouble understanding the difference between the patterns (with the unit values on reverse) and the coppers that circulated in the US.

    I like it - congrats!

    During that period of time, weren't they valued differently in each colony?? Perhaps CRO, JK or others can chip in with the right answer.

    Thanks for the link, I did read that a while back. What I didn't get was that there was 5 mill and an 8 mill coppers to be minted. The patterns had their mill designations on them, but the pieces that were minted had no mill markings. So how were they valued?

    2 five unit coins = 1 penny in PA, NJ, DE, MD
    3 five unit coins = 1 penny in GA
    3 eight unit coins = 1 penny in NY and NC
    4 eight unit coins = 1 penny in NH, MA, RI, CT and VA

    The above conversion was taken from the Notre Dame link.
