    I'm almost certain that if it isn't the first one that it's the second one. ;)

    I bet the half cent. I have heard that the 1794 half dimes were struck in early 1795.

    Looks like Weiss and 1630Boston are gonna win this contest - can't get much older than that!

    Two 1798 half eagles in the same thread - who knew these were so common ;)
    JK of course, both are stunning coins, along with many others being posted in this thread.

    A few colonials that I enjoy as raw specimens. This 1794 comes in as oldered "US" minted coin. Came from an old leather pouch a of coins a customer brought in soon after I started to work retail. I fell in love with how original and untouched it was.

    Early daalder, er dollar. Who knows? Maybe could have been used to buy Manhattan? (Although sounds like goods were used rather than money.)
