(1798) Ireland 1/2 Penny Token From Old Colonial Alexandria, Virginia Building From an 18th century building (300 block of Cameron St.), a nice 1789 1/2 penny token from Cronebane, Ireland (south of Dublin, County Wicklow). Probably not a popular coin in very english Alexandria in the 1790's, it looks to have been quickly taken from circulation (original mint lustre). This was removed from the cellar of this building during the summer of 2007 by my grandson (Luke) and I, along with a large number of other older coins - many were worn or contemporary counterfeits - I theorize that these may have been coins a merchant or banking house was "stuck with" (couldn't pass on). I feel confident that these were used here during colonial times so I listed them here. Interesting coins from the time of Washington (he lived nearby), inexpensive "show & tell" from the beginning of our country or a school display (?). $2.95 fully insured shipping to the USA . $3.95 uninsured shipping to countries I ship to with proof of shipping. If paypal is a problem let me know & we'll work something out. I combine lots to save shipping costs, thank you for looking & good luck. gbaxPaypal is accepted but not preferred.
