Higley Coppers - Coins

Higley Coppers are a series of early colonial coins produced in the Connecticut colony during the 1730s. They were created by copperworker Obadiah Higley, who minted these coins to address the colony's need for currency, as a lack of official money was creating trade difficulties. The coins are notable for their crude design and lack of central authority backing, featuring inscriptions such as "Higley Copper" and depicting various symbols. Due to their historical significance and rarity, Higley Coppers are sought after by collectors, with some examples commanding high prices in the market.
