Here are two pieces that circulated in colonial America to a limited degree.

The Rosa Americana coins were made for America, but the American colonists did not take to them. This is a half penny.



This Virginia Half Penny is Mint State as many of the survivors seem to be, but I have seen circulated examples in VF or so.



And then a classic, the Lord Baltimore six pence.

I love this piece and very rarely get a chance to show it off.

Worn and holed Potosi 4 reale, leaning up against a sterling pint mug by London silversmith John Payne. Both dated 1774.

The coin was graded by NGC "VF Details / Removed from jewelry"
but I like to think that the marks on the coin are from rough handling by pirates.

Edit - Yes, this is an awesome coin and is not mine. It just sold for $440,625 as part of the Eric P. Newman Collection Part V
