1785 nova constellatio copper
my buddy George and i were up around 5:20 this morning so we could take our time getting to an area because the roads had a some black ice due to the freezing rain the night before but we overcame this and hit a site . well this first site had just a little to much snow for my liking (about 4 inches)so after a few hours of iron scraps , shotgun shells and deer slugs we moved to another area.this place had only about 2 to 3 inches and so with a couple hours to hunt we decided to stay and work the area . it paid off we each pulled some buttons ( George had about 3 dandies and 5 in total) and i pulled a nice copper ( my 36th old copper this year) guys take care and thanks for looking .
looks like a crosby 3-b to me
can anyone i.d. the variety for sure

That coin is in a beautiful condition.  Great find. 
Det vi vet er sĺ uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som gĺr langs en strand og finner smĺtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene fĺr han aldri se.
