It's taken five years but its a beauty!!!!!

Lately I have been hunting an old farmstead that dates back to the 1750s in a really old part of ct. My e-trac has been acting funny lately so I decided to try my luck with my ace 350. which I'm not a fan of at all. I wasn't having any luck with the field so I decided to move into the apple orchard. After four hours of digging up can after can and every shot gun shell in the tri state area. I come across some nice roundness in the hole. After I wiped off the dirt I almost had to pinch my self it was my first ct copper and she was beautiful. The year is 1787. I'm curious though any one know the variety? Thanks for looking. - Justin

Can't help you with the ID but I love that coin.

Congrats on your awesome 5 year payoff. I'd say you most definitely earned (and deserve) that one.
Persistence certainly does pay off.

The condition on the obverse of that coin is freaking amazing. The separation in the hair on the bust is ridiculous. You can see each individual hair strand. Congrats on the state copper. I hope it turns out to be the rare variety.
