1747 - Coins

The Machin's Mills coins, produced circa 1792-1794, are a series of silver and copper tokens struck by an unknown engraver in the Machin's Mills area of New York. These tokens, particularly the 1747 issues, were created during a time of coin shortage in the United States, often imitating the designs of official currency. The notable pieces often featured the profile of a seated figure and are considered significant in American numismatic history due to their local context and the mystery surrounding their production. Collectors seek these coins for their historical value and as examples of early American minting practices.
