So after cleaning up my 2 KGII’s I started hacking away at the cruddy green disc I found yesterday. The reverse is basically wiped, but after a little tooth pickery on the obverse I saw the word “Vermont” come through😳 I’m still picking at it and I don’t want to rush now but I think it’s a 1788 RR20 Vermont state copper. I just wish it was in better shape, but I’ll take it!!!!!! Wow what a day!!

Vermont, eh? That should never have crossed the state line into MA. I think that invalidates your find :laughing7:

Well done man!

I’ve found jersey, Connecticut, and Vermont, never a Massachusetts, it’s very high on my list. Maybe tomorrow morning

Congrats Dirt. I think VTs are my favorites. Same deal for me! I live in MA, have all those other states but can't manage to put my coil over a MA copper.

Excellent find despite the cruddiness (a new word).

Now that the weather is cooler, will have to go out and hit some of them fields. You can find your $.17 and I’ll find the militia buttons! I was underwater at the lake today but could only tolerate about a half hour. Got a 1906 Indian head cent and a couple of Wheaties before my Garrett Blues broke.
