That’s a sick copper! I’ve been blessed to have dug two varieties. Yours looks like a Crosby 1-A.

Here’s a chart. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1520639214.283944.jpg

Congrats on a really nice one since most dug ones are roached. They say the earlier Novas had better quality planchets - which may explain why 1783’s survive the best. Either way, killer find!
