The History:

Manhattan was discovered in 1609 (on September 11, 1609) by Henry Hudson, commander of the VOC ship, the Half Moon. The province of New Netherland (which later became the State of New York) was created in 1624. Its capital was New Amsterdam, which lay on the southern tip of Manhattan "purchased" from the Indians by Peter Minuit for $24 in trade goods. Of course, the Indians had no concept of land ownership, and only later discovered what the Dutch had in mind when they were handing out trinkets. Because the Dutch were instrumental in the early development of New York, Dutch coinage joined the Spanish, Portuguese, and British coins that were used for daily transactions all over the American colonies. One of the coins used in old New York was the VOC copper duit, now popularly known as the "original New York penny."

My VOC coins are all in Very Fine condition for the type, with nice clear dates ranging from the 1730's to the 1790's, which makes them all over 200 years old. This is a terrific opportunity to acquire some interesting examples of an important early American colonial coin type at an extremely low price.
