Lets see your 1787 coins.

[Brian C.]

This New Jersey copper came from an old village that I detected for several years, The land owner said that a family did settle in the village from New Jersey. I figure the location of where I found the coin was the cabin site. There were 100 or so people living there until 1860 or so. When my detector found this coin, my detector had a sweet sounding tone, I knew I had found something nice. I don't know how many of these tokens have been found in Canada, maybe a hand full. HH

Was it deep, and what detector did you use?

The coin was down a couple of inches, I used a Whites 5900.

Here is my freshly dug Connecticut Copper 1787 from last week near the Connecticut line in a field! My first- could be my last but very exciting!

Very nice!! I have an 1800 2 reale but that is the oldest coin I have ever found. If you find em old down here it is Spanish, and the good thing, Silver!! WTG on a coin that old. I have never found one that age.

Fresh from the ground - I have more than a few Connecticutt coppers
but this one was one in good shape

 

[Bev]

Wowwww... I just can't WAIT to find one in that condition!

 

[CASPER-2]

Oh - by fresh from the ground -I meant the pic was taken right after I found it
-not recent
it was found in a farmfield just below the plow line - others found at this spot over the years are worn - corroded by manure or hit by plows

Here's a few from my years of digging early homesites in CT. The NJ is probably the best condition wise but the Fugio being the cross after date variety is the most valuable

1787 is most likely my most common year of any colonial, post colonial,federation coppers. The reason is I have found many NJ coppers and most are 1787. All 20 19 of these coppers came from my home county or the ones next to it, no great travel distance to get them.
(Since I posted this I found out one of the coppers I could not attribute the variety and thought it was a 1787 was just ID'd as a 1788 M.7-E.)
