Question:

1776 American Liberty coin

by Guest8192 | 12 years, 9 month(s) ago

I have a coin that was passed down to me. I'd really like to know if it has any value. I've never seen anything like it. It's actually black. Probably from time. On one side it has 1776 and a tree with 9 branches and on the other side it has WM and American Liberty printed on it. Has anyone seen this kind of coin before?

Yes I have one as well. It's said that it was made by William Moulton but was never approved and it is believed that the coins were never circulated, however copies of the coins were made as memorabilia and sold for 2-3 dollars. I'm not sure if urs is a copy or real. You need to take it in to a pro. cuz if it's real then it has a significant value. They said by looking at the edge of the coin u can tell if its real or a copy. The WM $ was also 100% copper.

I also have one of these coins which I found in the dirt in Virginia back in 1981. It appears to be copper and there seems to be enamel or something still evident on the side with the tree.
