Copper id

Found this copper today. I think it's a Vermont but I'm having trouble making a positive id. The back is smooth. What do you think it is?

Pretty sure its not a Vermont.

See the way the bottom of the bust conforms to the line of the coin, and follows it's curve?

Doesn't look that way on a Vermont

Good point, how about a CT? Could it be the Miller 1.2 Muttonhead?

 

[OWK]

Yup.

I think you've got it.

It looks more like a William III halfpenny to me. Can you show the reverse?

Sweet copper WW. I'd still be shaking if I dug that today. Congrats on the old find It's time to celebrate.

The back is smooth. Finding it was amazing. I went with my wife's 10 year old sister and she had a blast helping me dig. We also found an 1898 Barber dime, 1941 wheat, and a Indian Head penny that's still soaking.

Sounds like she was a good luck charm today.

I WOULD PASS OUT IF I COULD JUST FIND A PLACE TO DIG. NOTHING HOPEFUL YET. WHEATIES YOU GOT A NICE ONE .

My vote is for William III half as well. Notice how the bottom of the bust curves with the edge of the coin as opposed to a lot of other coppers

 

[wheres_wheatie]

Can someone post a pic. or link to what a William III half looks like? I'm having trouble finding it. Thanks, WW

William III

 

[wheres_wheatie]

Dang that's old! What years were these minted?

 

[donkarlos]

1694-1702. They're all slightly different so's with a little detail you might be able to narrow it down even without the date readable.

Here's mine. Pretty smooth..
