When a colleague introduced me to colonials, they really caught my attention. So much that I considered purchasing the coins offered. TO MY POINT: Having no prior experience in this area of numismatics, acquiring such coins, without an idea of type, value, rarity or mintage could have turned into a dangerous and expensive venture. Therefore I needed help. This book was the answer!!!! Not only does Mr. Bowers list ALL colonials and give a round about value, he also lists rarity and gives estimated numbers known; for each variety of each coin!! This really helped me get a better grasp of the coins I was looking at. Also, with the MANY varieties of colonials, he offers a system of matching the obverse and reverse of all coins, with great quality color pictures and then lists the "type" of variety within that series it may be. Although I was slightly confused at first, after the first few days of doing this, I had it down!

Also, as a bonus, the chapters on the history behind colonials; from the ins and outs of minting to those involved in starting coinage in this country and much more, had not only added to my intrigue but also my knowledge!!

Lastly, one valuable tip. Mr. Bowers states that money values listed are very approximate and can be quite different now, verses when the book was published (which I believe was 2008.) I have found that going on major auction sites, (Heritage, Stacks & Bowers) to check current prices realized for the colonials I have an interest in, has helped tremendously to narrow that gap. Thanks for reading and hope it helped!

An excellent modern resource on Colonial coins. The pricing data is subject to great discussion and probably should have been left out because actual prices differ depending on availability and demand--not on a price in anyone's book. Excellent discussion of the history of these coins. An important, modern day companion to the Breen and Crosby books on the same subject.

This is a very comprehensive source of information and a must for serious collectors of colonial-era coins. The pictures and detailed descriptions of the many variations of each type of coin, along with estimated values by grade are truly helpful. Note, however, that this book includes only coins minted for and by the 13 original British colonies and states; it does not include any coins minted by the Spanish, French, Dutch, and other European countries who traded in those colonies and other parts of the future United States.

Recently found a conneticuit copper while metal detecting. It had no date but thanks to this book i was able to determine it was from 1786! Great resource book for coin collectors and metal detectorists alike!
