UP FOR BIDS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE PROBLEM FREE EXAMPLE OF THE VERY FIRST COLONIAL COPPER MONEY MADE FOR USE IN THE COLONY OF NEW YORK(NY STATE). IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY ENCASED AND GRADED BY PCGS. I HAVE SEEN A FEW OTHERS BEFORE WITH HIGHER GRADES ASSIGNED AND THIS ONE LOOKS MORE LIKE AN EXTREMELY FINE THAN A VERY GOOD BUT YOU BE THE JUDGE. ALL THE WORDING AND FIGURES ARE VERY SHARP TO THE NAKED EYE WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION. IT MEASURES 1" IN DIAMETER AND CONTAINS ONE CENT WORTH OF COPPER IN THOSE DAYS. IT SAYS ON THE FRONT "NOVA EBORAC" WHICH IS LATIN FOR "NEW YORK", WITH THE FIGURE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON FACING RIGHT , WEARING A ROMAN GENERAL'S TUNIC AND A LAUREL WREATH ON HIS HEAD. THIS WAS MADE JUST AFTER THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR AND BEFORE THE US CONSTITUTION WAS ADOPTED AND WASHINGTON BECOMING THE 1ST PRESIDENT. THIS COIN IS IN THE "2009 BLACKBOOK OF US COINS". THE REVERSE HAS A SEATED LADY FACING LEFT, HOLDING A POLE AND CAP WITH A SHIELD NEXT TO HER. ALONG THE LEFT SIDE IT SAYS "VIC" AND THE RIGHT "LIB". THIS BEAUTY IS 224 YEARS OLD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CORROSION AT ALL AND SMOOTH, MARK FREE CHOCOLATE BROWN SURFACES. THIS IS RARELY EVER SEEN FOR SALE IN ANY GRADE AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COIN COLLECTION. GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR YOUR BIDS. NO RETURNS ON GRADED COINS.
