1786 Vermont Copper "Vermontensium"? - any experts want to jump in to confirm?

Found this tonight at an old colonial spot near the river - I've found a bunch of colonials over the years but never one like this ... can anyone identify the variety / rarity?
Back is pretty smooth, trying to get a pic of it.

Thanks

Sweet old copper, congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 
Very Nice!! Congrats!!
 
Vermont Ryder 6 (RR-6) variety, rarity-2. The Ryder 6 and Ryder 7 were the only two with "Vermontensium," and the placement of the 6 in 1786 below and not almost touching the plow gives this away as a RR-6. Below is a mint state specimen:

Thanks for confirming paleomaxx appreciate the insight ! vp
 
thanks everyone for the comments - when looking it up I thought it might be fairly rare - wish it was in better shape but it is what it is, just happy to find it.
 
What a great find! I LOVE old coppers. Nothing better!
