It came from the corn... A 1787 Vermont Auctori Ryder 13 Extremely Fine Condition?

[GKman]

A couple days before I discovered the 1793 Liberty Cap Cent in the same field
I was out detecting the corn rows and this pretty little coin popped out. I have found Connecticut and New Jersey coppers but never a Vermont Copper so it was extra exciting. Unfortunately, even though it is a pretty good find it was overshadowed by the 1793. Can we show it some love now?
Interestingly, these coins were actually minted here in New York in Newburgh which is about fifteen miles as the crow flies from where I found it. It is amazing to think that the coin was made there, traveled the wagon wheel rutted "roads" and trails of the day all the way to Vermont and then back down to practically its birthplace but ended up getting dropped in a field that at the time was the site of a religous meeting house until the 1860's.
I thought it deserved at least a little bit of attention so I thought it might be alright to post it here.
Last night I cleaned it up as much as I dare to and I am very happy with the results. I am looking forward to what else this field may give up.

The only thing left that you could have asked for on that was to have a little rarity... but still a great detecting find.

Beautiful! That obverse is sharp !

 

[ironhorse]

another super job on this one too!

the condition of your finds in the soil in your hunt areas is amazing

 

[Steve in PA]

That is a beautiful Vermont, especially the obverse. I have found 3 of them out here in Southwestern PA, but the Connecticuts are far more plentiful around here.

Yeah Gary, saw this one when you posted it elsewhere, looks nice cleaned up a little!! You're making me want to go over the river again, I haven't hunted your side in thirty years.
