I found a 1776 new hampshire William Moulton colonial copper coin . I am in the process of trying get it looked at .I got a whitman's red book and it talks about it .this is what it says word for word .
[[New Hampshire was the first state to consider the subject of coinage following the declaration of independence. William Moulton was empowered to make a limted quality of coins
of pure copper authorized by the state house of representatives in 1776. Although cast patterns were prepared, it is believed that they were not approved. Little of the proposed
coinage was ever actually circulated. Other purported patterns are of doubtful origin. These
include a unique engraved piece and rare struck piece with large initials WM on the reverse....
Thats what mine has on it . The WM with American Liberty around the outer edge. And on the other side is a pine tree with 17 on one side of the tree and 76 on the other . .]]
If anyone knows anything about this coin let me know please thx alot.
