Higley Coppers are a series of colonial coins produced in the American colonies, specifically in Connecticut, around 1737. They were made from copper and were among the first coins to be minted in what would become the United States. Created by citizen Peter Higley, these coins are notable for their crude design and lack of official sanction, reflecting the informal nature of colonial coinage at the time. The Higley Coppers are known for their historical significance and are highly sought after by collectors, with limited surviving examples contributing to their rarity and value.
