There are places in America where privately minted
coins are willingly used by sellers and buyers.

In 1737 and 1739 John Higley, a blacksmith, from
Granby, Connecticut, was one of the first private
coin makers. Higley let people determine the value
of his copper minted coins, Higley stamped on each
coin the sentence “I am good cooper/value me as you
please”.

Do to the quality of Higley’s coins, people accepted
them and these coins were in use until 1792. Gold-
smiths of his time sought them out for purposes of
alloy.  The metal contained in Higley’s coin was very
pure.

Another known coin accepted by the public is the
replica (reproduction) coin. Replica coins are original
coins that were copied with the same features and
markings. All replicas have noticeable differences
upon close examination. These coins have the word
“COPY” intentionally put on the sides of the coins.
The coins are then used for educational purposes,
sold to customers, used by museums on their dis-
plays, etc. These types of coins are legal.

Its only when the word “COPY” is omitted and the
owner tries to sell them as genuine, do they become
illegal and therefore counterfeit.

It’s the collectible rare coins a collector should be more
concern about, because exclusive market of valuable coins.

There are many ways to make money with replica
coins without trying to fool people into believing
they are genuine.
