never thought my "redbook" would be as valuable as it was tonight

while obviously prices in the redbook do not reflect current markets (but what does anyway? greysheet? not always... anyway...)
Tonight I chose to write a report for school about the different coins that were minted throughout the "New worlds" history.
well- I open up to page 34 and there it is! the first "new world"/english colonies coined!(1616)

and guess what they were called?

Hoggies!!!

A great book in my opinion with a wealth of information.

thank you teletrade for the "free gift"
may the fonz be with you...always...

    Hope you didn't just copy it out of the Red Book image

    I picked up my first Red Book in 10 years this year and I really enjoy flipping through and re-reading some of the history of various issues.

    Plus it doesn't hurt that a lot of the pictures are in color now...10 years ago they weren't image

    Got my first Red Book in 1982 (still have it!) and just asked Santa to bring me the 2010 edition. The amount of info is just priceless vs the cost. I truly enjoy looking through it on a regular basis and now that it is in color (yep the old ones were black & white) it is even nicer image

    The first "New World" coinage was actually minted 80 years prior to that, in 1536 in Mexico.
