3 1700's Colonial Coppers, 2 1800's Largies,Shield Nickel and More

Hello All,

Went to one of my places today and dug for four hours and what a four hours it was. Dug three colonial coppers 1787 Connecticut Copper, 1787 New Jersey Copper and a 1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. Also dug an 1839 Large Cent and a 1807 over 6 Large Cent. A nice 1869 Shield Nickel came to light along with and 1865 Indian Head Penny.
Dug some nice relics too some cool locks ,buttons and a nice buckle to go along with the coins. The weather was beautiful after all the rains so that helped to make a nice day. Thank you for taking a look.

Happy Hunting ,

Bubba65

All I can add is "OMFG"!! What a day! That NJ copper is one of the nicest I have seen in quite some time. I am sure that Don will be able to help you get an ID on the variety.

Banner finds for sure!

Hey Bubba those are some fantastic coppers. The soil in your area must be about 7 ph to come out that good \\\wtg\\\

Re: 3 1700's Colonial Coppers, 2 1800's Largies,Shield Nickel and More

What a great hunt, such a variety of different coins~

I did attribute your NJ copper and happy to say it is a Very Scarce variety , Maris 33-U , Rarity 5 and in that condition does have some value and would be wanted by NJ collectors if you ever wanted to sell (fyi).

I did not look at the Conn or Nova coin, but maybe later if no one else chimes in. The 1807/6 Large Cent is a Sheldon 273, Very Common variety, shame it was not the small date with blunt one. ::)

I did send you a PM concerning giving me info for my NJ study,

Thanks in advance

Don

Killer coppers, Bubba. :thumbsup: The Nova is my favorite out of the five posted.
 

Re: 3 1700's Colonial Coppers, 2 1800's Largies,Shield Nickel and More

Awesome finds, the coppers are fantastic. As for the batwing buckle I think it could be quite old. I would agree with Buckleboy because of the crudeness and how thick it is, very similar to other buckles of that age period Georgian.
