I got some old coins off craigslist, 1723, 1798 & an old token. Help identify?!
They were listed as
1723 Woods Hibernia
1798 LARGE PENNY
CONNECTICUT COLONIAL COIN
The guy inherited a coin collection from his grandfather. He made over half a million in the gold coins he sold, I got a ton of books, dimes, half dollar, eisenhower, nickle & penny folders, gold coin holders a 2006 redbook & these 3 coins for 60 bucks.
How did I do, & what do I have? He was certainly no expert & I'm not sure if he identified these correctly.

But Then again there are alot of Varieties of Colonials
It's funny, I just sold a 1600's soldini that was in better condition than all three of these coins, but it did wear in the same fashion. Thinning out at the edges & getting smooth. These don't seem like they would go for a high dollar amount, but I'd be willing to part with them to trade into silver.
