Connecticut copper - MY FIRST!

[incajoe]

Got out to a few cellar holes today and found the 1787 CT copper and few other trinkets. The copper was found at a spot that someone else had hit recently. There were fresh holes everywhere.

I need some help Identifying the copper. I can't find a match for it. The identifying features are: Left facing bust, "CONNECT" (yes, with a "T" on it??) and two stars following it, "INDE ET LIB" on reverse with two stars following it. Any help?

That suspender clip with the loop still hanging on it was a fun find. It's got a pat date of 1871 on it. The buckle is a first for me....shoe buckle? The silver thing looks suspiciously like sterling but I have my doubts, probably just very heavily plated.

Enjoy the pics!

1787 CONNECTICUT COPPER -

Nope, not a match for any of those. I appreciate the effort though!

Neither of those have the "T" in "CONNECT" or the two stars following it.

I think you nailed it Bubba, thanks! Looks like a pretty rare one too which makes this find even better. Gotta love digging the state coppers. This is only my second, the first being a New Jersey that I found last fall.
