This Colonial Coin Guide includes a custom engineered 13 coin "map" which houses the first 13 State Quarters. The first 13 quarters represent the original 13 American Colonies which later became the first 13 United States starting with Delaware in 1787. (Contrary to popular belief, there were no constitutionally ordained "States Of The Union" on July 4, 1776. The Declaration of Independence simply established the fact that the 13 colonies were uniting as states against the tyranny of England and declaring their right to freedom and independence from the Mother Country. Statehood was a long, drawn out process involving actions of "The Continental Congress" over a period of 11 years.
