Another Connecticut...Need ID help....Ryder 20 Vermont Copper...and mystery item.

[hogge]

DigginitRTB found both. Along with a beauty 1803 LC...Sheldon 251....common., a clipped 1809 1/2 cent, and an RR-20 Vermont Copper. Looking for variety on Conn. No access to die charts from 1787. Also an interesting mystery item. Thought it might be a bottle lid. I dunno

Bale seal - No? Some were quite large, especially the older ones. Congrats on the coppers being found. Nice to get those state issued coppers. Nicer still to find them in better condition than typically found. The recent Connecticut copper you posted was a real beauty.

I agree with Dale on that it's a cloth seal, as a bale seal seem to have a wire running through them, as where the cloth seals are folded over as this.

Great looking coppers once again.

I believe the other item is a cloth seal.

The Connecticut MIGHT be a 32.4 -X.5. First time I have had a chance to look and this one looks promising. Might have a chance to check more closely, but Connecticuts can be very challenging to ID.

 

[hogge]

Yes they are very much a pain sometimes. would like to see if we can positively ID. See what you can do. THANKS!

OK, I am feeling pretty good about 32.4-X.5 which is a high R5 variety.
