Colonial copper

[tav396]

My first readable(barely) colonial from my area. A toasted largie yesterday was another heart breaker and been in a silver drought for weeks. Least this gives me a little hope

I read what the label on your photo said and I thought it was a state coppers, lol. Then I saw the "NIA" on the right side. Brittania. That's an old KG, probably a 3rd. Have a pic of the reverse? Nice find!

English coin, by the Reverse image show.
Was the bust on Obverse of coin, looking Left or Right...
Looks like a "7" on the end of the date at the bottom there...1700's...?

Nice find. Although they usually come out of the ground toasted, I love finding early coppers.

Just so you know... even a part date, outline of the bust, whether it's a U or V issue, can often date these as it narrows it down a lot.
