There can be much discussion on U.S. Colonial Coin’s first origins, but most consider the British New World Issues of Sommer Islands (Bermuda) as the starting point for New World Coinage. I’m sure there is much more to be discovered when it comes to Colonial Issues, on what coins actually circulated, and if all have been properly listed and discovered, and what actually circulated in the Colonies. But for our guide we will continue the legacy of those before us, and list the positively known Colonial Coinage, their facts and in the order in which experts have placed them.

So, begins the introduction of our own Colonial Coin guide with facts, detailed pictures, and values. I hope you will visit our guide pages and learn about the origins and fascinating history of the beginning of coinage in America. Colonial Coin Guide
