done all the research i could find on this coin. no legable date, i think Conn. copper (1786}is there any value to this?
is it worth sending to a grader?

 

[hogge]

Yes...Appears to be 1786. This coin is in good enough shape that Don in SJ or IP should be able to give you the Miller var. Grader? Absolutely NOT! All they are going to put on it is "Environmental Damage". Waste of time and $.

Would love to hear the story of how you found it.

Nice find
I love the copper!
I see that the environment "damage" would cause it not to be graded but what would an average price on something like that be? (besides being priceless for jrwill56). Hogge any ideas??

Have to find out the Miller Variety. Don or IP for this one. Kinda wierd the rest of the coin is in fantastic shape and no legible date? Seems kinda funny to me. Where did you find it and how deep?

You might get a pass on this one even not having a date because often times coins with many varieties can be dated by matching the obverse and reverse. It's just a matter of going through them, finding the best match, then confirming with someone who really knows the coins.

 

[Iron Patch]

I looked through Coinfacts, couldn't find a match. Maybe I missed it, or maybe it's not there which sometimes can be a good thing.

Try and post some better pictures. Correct ID is only an email away.

It was 6" deep on an old 1700 Home site,The site is in the woods on a waste water treatment plantation. no one has lived on this site since the mid 1800s.
