Colonial Cellar Hunt

[Sniffy]

My buddy finnaly made it out from Ohio to do some hardcore New England Cellar Hole Hunting! We almost flipped his S.U.V, He crawled into a cubby hole with a glow stick that illuminated several venemous spiders, We got turned around in a briar field and had to rely on the compass to point us back to his vehicle, but it was all worth it....He was able to witness me pull this CT copper and other relics, but unfortunately Mark didnt' find any Coins or buttons, but he did get a nice tick bite and some really impressive square nails.

Another nice Copper Sniffy!! OK, the coin is a Miller 33.37-Z.9 variety. Not sure what the current rarity is, I have seen Very Scarce, but also Rare, so maybe recently (in the last few years it dropped to the Very Scarce as shown on Coinfacts. Much better than a Very common variety and in decent condition to boot.

CT coppers at times are very hard to say with certainty, not all symbols are showing thru the dirt on the coin, so I am 99% 100% sure (verified by several CT collectors) it is this variety.
Take a look and compare. REV: Look at the :* positioning in relation to the exactness for a match. Look at the leafs how they match, the arm pointing to the E . Compare the date numbers, height relation to each other and the line, the pole should be pointing between 1 and 7.

Obv, compare the positioning of the symbols.

I used the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins for the ID, then went to Coin facts to verify.
