Connecticut copper, silver

[Stan Milgram]

The ground is thawed in New Hampshire (mostly) and I finally got out with a friend. 1787 Connecticut Copper and an 1870 Canadian dime. My friend found the 1819 Largie.

Your Conn. is going to be one of four varieties. M37.5-e....37.9-e......37.7-h.2......or 37.15-h.3 Maybe someone else can attribute which one out of these 4 it is. I do not have the cross references, or pics, of these. Hogge

Just to add......These 4 varieties go from scarce, to rare, to very rare, to extremely rare. Although it's a close match to the 37.5-e, I'm not seeing the die break you have in yours on the reverse. I'm hoping it's one of the other 3.

They are so hard to ID! And I have little experience with it. Very confusing looking through the Bowers book. I do think the reverse is h1 though.

Congrats! I love state coppers, and so cool that yours has so much still intact.

Took a quick look and 37.5-e is extremely close and may be it. Die breaks can be relevant or not when IDing. You can use them to include, but not to exclude.

Seems there is consensus with you guys and someone on another forum who suggest 37.5e. Thanks.

Nice Connecticut! Been a couple years since I've dug one. Hopefully I'll pop another one soon.
