Looking like 1785 CONNECTICUT COPPER -
Miller 3.4-F.1

Rarity: Common

I didn't see this the first time going through the list, but didn't notice anything else close, and it is the only use of both the obverse and reverse dies so probbaly it.

Thanks guys, there was 2 square nails in the hole with the coin. Still getting a rush every time i look at it to think the last person who held it was about 250 yrs ago.
