Update on 1787 Connecticut Copper ***VERY RARE VARIETY WITH 13-20 KNOWN***

[Kyle PA]

Well, first off, I'm glad to say that we have gotten off of the skunk mobile, IP.

KKC (KirkKyleChris) got out to a new site on March 21 that I had researched. After I presented the research to Chris, he secured the permission like a champ. Our group is all about the team effort. One guy never does all of the work to get into a new vanished site.

The day started off with the usual buttons and Colonial dwelling relics. I ended the day with 14 buttons, the most I ever dug in one day.

Then, it happened, folks! BAM! 1839 Coronet cent! 15 minutes later, BAM! 1810 Classic Head half cent! 30 minutes later, BAM! King George III halfpenny! I was ecstatic at this point, as you will see in the attached video of my recoveries! 20 minutes later, BAM! 1801 Draped Bust large cent! I ended the day with probably my best condition copper so far! I filmed the recovery from start to end, and you will see my excitement when I saw the shape that it was in! My last copper, which was my 5th for the day, turned out to be a very nice 1787 Connecticut copper!

KKC ended the day with 10 coppers on Sunday! We will be swinging over the ground this Sunday, so stay tuned for more recoveries!

Here is the video of the coppers:




Here is an update on the variety of my Connecticut copper from a well-known expert:

Hi Kyle:
It came through loud and clear.
In my opinion you have a 1787 Miller 33.38-gg.1.
The diagnostics are great on the reverse. As you see, there is a large die crack through the D, through the stem of the laurel branch and into the figure's waist. That is diagnostic of a late die gg.1 state. Combined with that reverse there are only four obverses and only the 33.38 matches yours.

It is a very rare coin with an estimate 13 to 20 known as a high R-6. In recent auctions undamaged ones have sold in the $1000 vicinity.

If it's a matter of a better picture than I would hope the Mods would say that. We're not mind readers.
Good luck Kyle. It's a banner find in my book.

I don't know what it is.But I do know it took three pages of HOW COMES,WHY NOT'S,some voting 3&4 times to get the spoon mold up there.To find out that was a reason someone said.But they used the same pics. that was there the whole time.Same with the 1669 token I found.And the other ones that had many votes like the 10th reg rev. war button,1740 mallet I just posted in a nother thread 2 cobs the list goes on.Never Did make it And many others from other people I've seen have tons of votes not make it and rare also.I don't know why.Just how it is.
Things that make you say Hummmmmm!

Poor decisions like that make a person not even want to post their finds. I mean what does it take? Perhaps 13-20 coins known to exist is way to many?
I do know that Kirk & Kyle have come back to TN with total respect and dig coins most of us can only dream of finding.
Kyle has to be in the top few here that does an outstanding job of research, and we all see it pays off.

Keep up the great hunts Kyle.

Na, that ain't stopping anyone from posting. Also keep in mind on my post which was only 10-12 known and worth several times as much Kyle asked to see a closer picture of the cruddy cartwheel penny I found. Maybe this is the payback.

 

[gemee]

AWESOME FINDSS!!! TRy to get that audio a little more clear, if you can. I think that you have the mike too close, because it was really muffled.

Too bad the moderators don't seem to know that this is banner worthy. Guys, let's get with the program. Is making the banner a popularity contest or is it really a way to reward fellow treasurenet hunters for finding something special?
