Greetings,

 

We should add Maine as a sub-issuer of United States Pre Federal. This is because there is a Maine Penny: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_penny

 

Thank you all for your consideration.

Even if this thing is not a hoax. What has this to do with Maine? It would be a medieval “Norwegian” coin.

I did read it. Isn’t referring that this coin is from Maine?

11th century Maine?  That's pre-pre-pre-pre-federal US.  It's from Norway that was found in Maine.

So it was not minted for Maine or minted in Maine? If it was not minted for Maine or minted in Maine, I will then downvote.

Even if genuine, it is not Maine coin.

Strange suggestion from the OP after having read the “Maine articel”, where Norway is clearly stated as origin.
