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.

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


There's a little trick to be more confident in an ID. If both sides seem so close you can't find any differences to the variety you're trying to match it to, you look at whether that coin shared dies with other varieties. If so, those are most likely going to be the only ones that will be very close to yours, and you can systematically eliminate them one by one to you are down to what you believe it is.... sort of like checking your work in reverse. If it did not share either die with another variety, as long as you're sure both sides seem dead on, chances are it's going to be the coin because it's unlikely two entirely different dies would be paired to match as well.
