1787 Mass Copper Cent? Large Cent, Vnickle, IH woo hoo...

[Garabaldi]

I have been hunting an early 1800's military training site. The finds keep coming, but the condition they are in are rough. In the past I have found a number of War of 1812 LA 1 buttons and tons of mini bullets and musket balls. I found my first large cent today, which is soaking. I can see the head and the back, but no date. I also believe I have found a 1787 Mass Copper Cent. I am very excited, although the coppers may be worthless, the historical value of finding a Mass Copper is priceless being a Bostonian and loving our history. Most of the buttons I find are also worn to the point they are unidentifiable, but they still have great meaning because they were once worn by our honorable military. I plan to put all of them in a display case. Thanks for looking and this hobby rocks.

Sweet digs. No colonial stuff around here. You east coast guys are in the right spot.

Thank you all. So often we find coppers that are unidentifiable, I was excited I at least know what it is.
