1786 Large Head Connecticut copper or KG3

[Showtime2385]

So I was doing some swinging today on a road around some old cellar holes where I got the 1741 half real. Digging was so hard in the hard packed gravel. managed to pull this bad boy out! To me it appears to be the large head variety of an 1786 CT copper due to several areas of detail that are left (head band, lack of slanted forehead to nose). Of course the KG3 is very similar I believe some details are more fitting the CT. Let me know what you guys think?





King George iii

Is there a variety of the kgiii I'm not aware about that doesn't have the straight diagonal slant of the forehead to nose?

Well, that is what your coin is showing. Also, look at the hair ribbons. KG III.

It's a George III. You can clearly see the bottom half of the last S in Georgivs.

Wow, that was so obvious I don't even know how I missed it vs the harder clues I did notice.

It does look like an s by the top back of his head.

Varies because of so many period counterfeits, which your coin may be one of.

I see several spots that make me say it's the KGIII. Great find either way. Congrats!

Must have missed this post from quite a while ago. Always nice to find coppers. It is however not a large head. Of that I am certain. Here's mine.
