This box was given to me by my Aunt over the past holiday, It belonged to my grandfather. Some very nice old bills dating back to the 1860s, 5 or 6 nice coppers, and some other foreign currency ive yet to research. Im looking to get some help on 2 of these coppers and anything else in here you guys might recognise. The NJ copper is A new addition to my collection, although, im not sure of its exact variation :icon_scratch: "narrow shield with sprig above planchet was my first guess?? but theres no markings just below the horses head ??? The other old worn copper with the head facing left is also a mystery :icon_scratch: I only have the redbook and another book of tokens and medals to go by and cant seem to find any variations on that either....so if anyone can :help: on those 2 coins that would be much appreciated. enjoy the pictures...the "time is money" hard times token was a very nice surprise to find, very crisp detail :headbang:

the box is in fantastic shape for it's age
I think your copper is a George II Old Head HP, 1743-60
great Tokens, Coins, and currencY
love the Chinese Dragon copper, AU Canada cent, an 20 Reis ;D
Awesome showing!!

Really?..that old? thats cool, thanks for that info, ive only dug 4 coins from the late 1700s so I dont research the era that often. it beats my CT copper :thumbsup:

Yep Prolabs, it's an oldie
Brittania on reverse shows British, only left facing busts likely are GII, and it appears
to be the 'old head' :wink:
