Some history: In 1763, the stampee (or sol tampé) of 24 deniers was authorized. This was a small copper disk stamped on the obverse with a crowned C (for Colonies) and a blank reverse. From dates on the undertypes we know these coins were produced through at least 1764. They circulated widely and were used in the British Caribbean colonies where the stampee were known as Black Doggs or Doggs.

Sorry ! I had to edit your post, Just to be sure there was no advertising intended

Pretty Coins though. I need a few nice oldies this year to get my mind in gear.

p.s.

next time advise your friend he should jump ship & post his own finds here
not a put-down on you. I just like turn-coats if they turn this way
