Got the lads together and hit an old field we've been to numerous times and pulled this big 1722 two pence! Any info is greatly appreciated

though not a extremely valuable coin - they are rare to find
I would say less of them have been found than tree type coins - ive got lots of colonial hunter friends that don't have one but do have tree coins
some have multiple tree coins - my 2 pence was found in a field where I think 3 tree coins were found --tree coins were found in another field about
100 yrds away and more tree coins were found about a half mile away - but ive gotten the only Rosa from that area that ive heard of

I guess it depends on what you mean by extremely valuable because I'm sure there would be quite a battle between advanced collectors for the rarest varieties.... assuming those coins are in fairly small numbers. CT coppers aren't very valuable on average either, but get the right one and start counting your stacks of hundreds.
