The coin is badly burnt by NE acid soil, and the coin has gone may rounds in the ring with the plough

found in southern CT with flat and dandy buttons

I can just make out what I think is “N N• R”.

maybe the first N is something else, or the R is an E or an A, and the • dot is an acid blister

no other detail showing


Its roughy the size

of a george II hapenny, but letter are much smaller than on a Hapenny
Very heavy and thick 2mm

but egg shaped 26mm x 30mm

Connecticut copper?
 

if it is 2 x "N" the first thing I thought was CT coppers

but the lettering is rather large on CT Coppers in Comparison to these letters which are only 2mm high

I don't own a copper But have a few George II and the letter seem similar size to CT coppers , may be I am wrong


All I can think of is some English coin or token with the word "Penny" shortened

the back may have some kind of chevron zig zag detail in middle

I will keep the search going
