I'm was so stoked when this popped out and I saw the detail that was left on a copper coin of this size - I found another in the same vicinity, but it has very little detail left :-(

Here's the best I could get it with some Andre's pencils! The obverse is pretty toasty :-(

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations on the find! Both obverse and reverse must be identified to get the variety, can't get it from one side. The variety is a combination of the obverse and reverse dies.

Sorry to say it just isn't going to happen from the pictures. Connecticuts can be very tricky and it is the slightest details that make the identification. Maybe in hand you can look at it at various angles and make something out but you might have to be content to just know it is a Connecticut.

No worries - thanks for taking a look at it!!! I'll keep digging : - )
