3 Seated Dime Spill + Conn Copper!!

[bergie]

Yesterday I got a phone call from a very fired up Skunemonk (Jeff) who was at an early 1800 house his extended family had rented -- "Dude!" he says - "I just started detecting and got 3 seated dimes all together! Then right nearby I got a Connecticut Copper!" He found these in about 15 minutes and needless to say, we are going back as soon as possible. He's been having some computer problems, so I picked up the coins, brought them over to Earthworks and his new camera, and here's the result. The 1886 is spectacular. The Connect. Copper is 1787. Congrats to Jeff on these great finds.

That is some fantastic finds for your friend Bergie!! I am still waiting for my first colonial coin but I did manage to get a large cent dated 1828 last week. Every letter of "LIBERTY" can be seen and it is in great condition for 180 years old.

Congrats to your friend.

Just to update on the Connecticut copper, it has been identified and all I will say is, depending on how bad that corrosion is or isn't, that copper is possibly one of the most valuable finds posted on TNet this year! Congrats to Jeff, finding a very rare variety, even rare for a Connecticut copper.
(The dimes are chump change compared to the copper )

I feel his pain. I have had a few nice finds over the last weekend, but my digi-cam is out of service.

Make sure you tell Jeff I said congratulations!
