In 1754 Thomas Cope gave this simple coin to his son, Caleb, when he reached the age of 9. The year on the coin was also the year of Caleb's birth. Twenty-one years later the coin would end up in the hand of a British Officer who would conspire with Benedict Arnold in an attempt to capture one of the colonies' most important military installations.
