1760 Hibernia 1/2P Voce Pop. PCGS 40 By 1760 small coppers were scarce in Ireland. No royal Irish farthings had been issued since 1744 and no royal Irish halfpence since 1755. Issues of both denominations were scheduled to be minted in 1760 but apparently they did not arrive in Ireland until 1762. It has been speculated this was partly due to the death of George II in October of 1760. Under these circumstances under weight Voce Populi farthings and halfpence first appeared in Dublin. Very little is known about the origins of these coins, all of which carry the date 1760. Traditionally they have been attributed to a man named Roche who was a button maker on South King Street in Dublin. Some halfpence have the letter 'P' on the obverse. The meaning of this has not been explained. This encapsulation features a green CAC hologram label, indicating the coin has met CAC's grading standards.

1787 1c Fugio BN ANACS 45 The Continental Congress of the Confederation passed a resolution on April 21, 1787, for the contract coining of a national copper cent. About two and a half months later they agreed on a design. A resolution of July 6th stated the penny obverse would have the sun and a sundial with the legend 'FUGIO' (I fly), the date, and the legend 'MIND YOUR BUSINESS.' The reverse would contain thirteen linked circles with the legends 'WE ARE ONE' and 'UNITED STATES.' This copied the February 17, 1776, fractional currency and the 1776 Continental Currency 'Dollar'. Only about 400,000 Fugio cents were minted, which was about four tons out of the 300 tons of coppers that had been contracted for coining. These coins were sent to the U.S. Treasury on May 21, 1788.

1795 Wash 1/2P Grate Lg But Reed Edge PCGS 62 Nearly Choice. Brown. Pleasing surfaces. Well struck with some weakness on the word LONDON at the reverse. This 1795 British copper halfpenny token was designed by Thomas Wyon of the Peter Kempson and Sons mint in Birmingham, England, for the London firm of Clark and Harris, dealers in stoves and fireplace grates. The obverse displays a bust of Washington facing right. The reverse displays a large grate (a screen put in front of a fireplace).The Grate token was made for and used in England but has been collected as part of the American Colonial series because of the Washington bust and because of its relationship to the Liberty and Security series.
