Coin Details

Description

The tercentenary celebrated the three-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, one of the most consequential events in American colonial history. Governor John Winthrop's colony established the foundations of New England society, government, and culture that profoundly shaped the eventual American nation.

Token collecting represents one of the most diverse and accessible areas within American numismatics, with pieces available across a wide price range and covering virtually every aspect of commercial and social life.
