U.S. Post Colonial Issues are among the most diverse and misunderstood period of American Colonial Coinage. Many designs where copied, with little variation, and used by different states. It’s a period that spans from 1785-1791, and in this short period, many different coinages where minted and used by the States.

It was an attempt, buy the newly formed U.S. and The State’s Government, to provide a viable currency for the citizens. It eventually ended as 1792 saw the construction of the Philadelphia Mint Facility, and the Federal Government’s Proposed Coinages of 1792. And by 1793, Mint production began and was the catalyst that put an eventual end to the Post-Colonial Era.

However, this Era provides the coin collector a cornucopia of selections to collect, from the odd, to the popular, and some that are too rare for even the deepest pockets. So check out our Post-Colonial Pages to identify, and learn about these magnificent coins.
