Well I think this is really bronze does that count as a copper? I think bronze is mostly copper, well here it is anyway not as old as all the others on here but I'm still looking. HH

Here is my best This one was protected by a brick. You can see the "red" from the brick on the back of the coin in the before pics.

Did you notice that it appears to be 1800 stamped over 1790?

 

[Piepstokloper]

1800 stamped over 1700??
Do noth know what you mean.

 

[CheetahCats]

Dug 7 years ago in Ma. Actually "brassy" copper , but I guess it qualifies. After repeated calls to PCGS, 2 or more graders looked at it, and confirmed it was a piece of "HOGGE" money... There are about 200 specimens, of Sommers Island, known. This is a thin planchet, Large Porthole, Six Pence...

This is an absolutely incredible find! Congratulations, indeed.

It's too bad that PCGS sent it back in a body bag; They do that for problem specimens. However, that said, have you considered submitting it to NGC/NCS for at least authentication and slabbing?

I think they count. No one has said anything about the brass coins in the thread.

Found this in a bottle that I accedently broke while retrieving it. Most say the bottle would have been worth more than the coin.
