Looks like a DOT right after each letter of the U.S.
implying, there may be an early-day Federal sutler of some kind,
counter-stamping his change...???
Anyways, ALL Very Cool Finds, there....! :icon_thumright:

That LC is pretty darn cool, it looks like it has a lot of meat left on it, should clean up and reveal a date? Nice finds, nice site.

Hello! Very cool copper! I'd like to suggest/recommend a different cleaning method for your coppers than water and a toothbrush. You'd have much nicer results.

Congrats,

Buck
