Connecticut Copper 1788.

[Born2Dtect]

Got out this past weekend on a club hunt. Zero coins or good finds after almost five hours. Then funally a good signal. I was happy to see a large copper coin. Thought it was a George, but after a little closer look, the dirt was loose and fell off, I saw "Auctori Connec". Not a George but a Connecticut Copper, and very good detail. Not my usual copper. I was please to have only one coin for 7 hours of detecting.

Any one with a good contact or place for me to get this typed let me know.

Great condition for a dug coin. You should definitely pursue the variety. I just took a quick look at quite a few, some extremely close, but it seems like I could eliminate each one. There's some VERY good 1788 CT coppers so if value matters you will want to find out which it is.

Congrats on a very nice conditioned Conn copper. It looks like it is a Miller 16.3-N variety, a common variety for the year 1788.

I wish some, or even ONE of my recently dug coppers was in anywhere near the condition of yours. That is a great coin!

Good luck with the variety. I hope it is a rare one!

I thought the detail was good on the one I just looked at.

That is one of the best looking old coppers I have ever seen.

Congrats Ed
