My coin of a life time. 1788 Massachusetts copper

[Acojoe]

I found a bucket list coin that I did not even know was on my bucket list. Went out with Secondstar and Cheffer to our colonial spot, got a decent signal on the ATpro. When I dug it out of the ground I thought it was a large cent at first had to have Cheffer come over and look to see what it was. When he cleaned it off he looked at me and said do you have any idea what you just found of course I said no. I knew it must’ve been good his eyes were bigger than the coin.

Amazing coin congrats. As a life long resident of Mass I really hope to find one someday!

Awesome coin, fellow Mass hunter. I was lucky enough to find one, but not in nearly as good as shape as yours. In researching and reading about the coin I thought it was pretty cool that the state mandated that the coins could only made with copper that was mined in Massachusetts. Congrats!!!!!

That is one copper I would love to dig, but I don't think they circulated much outside of Massachussetts

I cant even find Connecticut’s and that one is way harder to find. Congrats

You've got a colonial Mass coin, just not a copper one
