    Assortment of Colonial Coins and Relics

    I have the day off, so since I was bored and my fiance is working, I decided to look through my collection. Each time I held a button, shoe buckle frame, or Colonial copper, it brought back memories of the dig.

    I hope you guys enjoy the Colonial artifact presentation.

    Keep the passion high!

    Hey, Dwayne, the worn 2-Reales is counterstamped with "CM Berry Saloon." It was stated that this saloon was in use in the 1830s in Philadelphia. I found it back in 2006.

    So the guy has a fetish for baby food jars and broken Colonial relics. It's all quite normal isn't it?

    Thanks for the info, Kirk. I love the counterstamps, but have never found any coins that had full ads on them. Very cool piece.
