✅ SOLVED Got Coin in MA area. What kind is it and what is the value?

[coinsareawesome]

I got a coin while in Plymouth, MA that I know is from Prince Edward Island. The description on the coin holder says circa 1840, but when researching I found answers that say it could be from the 1850s or 1860s. The coin is made of what I believe is copper. On the front it has a plow and says, "Speed the Plough." On the back it has a picture of three fish and says, "Success to the Fisheries." What year is it actually from and what is the value?

P.S.- Along with this coin I got an 1824 Nova Scotia halfpenny in Extremely Fine condition!

And as for your "1824 half penny", my guess is it's an 1864,, not '24 half 'cent', not 'penny', piece.
Don....

Did you get that at the coin shop next to the ice cream shop... on Court St?

 

[coinsareawesome]

The name of the place was Main Street Antiques. Is that the place you are talking about?

 

[BigWaveDave]

Nah.. There was a shop on Court St when I was a kid...sure its gone by now....I am sure Plymouth looks nothing like I remember... haven't been home in 20 years.

I had never been there before so I'm sure it has changed.
