1785 pointed rays (C 3-B) Nova Constellatio - probably my best copper.

PS, I’m never on here, but I suspect I’ve talked to many of you, lol. Happened to hop on for something else and figured I’d share. I’d also like to get rid of the “newbie” tag (yuck 😂).

Very Good!!! Congrats!!!

Very nice example even holed I would be happy. Not too bad for a newbie...lol just kiddin
Haha, thanks! I actually like the hole - it’s aligned perfectly so the “US” would be oriented correctly had someone worn it as a pendant. I normally assume the holes are to keep coins strung together to avoid losing them, but this one -might- be different.

Thank you! I’m never on TNet, lol. Usually I’m on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

I was digging in a cornfield that I hadn’t touched since June. This place has produced relics and coins from as far back as the 1600s, so while it’s pretty sparse out there, I still spend plenty of time looking for the occasional hidden gem. I don’t know how this coin stayed in such excellent condition, because all of my other coppers are either toasted or unidentifiable altogether. This was maybe 2-3” deep, lol. It was straight up and down, so I guess that must have helped protect it a bit. Was happy to have a friend there with me to share in the experience!

Thank you! Still in awe!

I wonder how long this “newbie” tag stays attached… that’s what I get for not posting here over the last 6 years. 😂

That is just an awesome coin. Thanks for sharing it. I had to google it. Very historic piece.
Don't sweat the names, I've been called lots worse, LOL. Not on here of course, these are some great people. How about posting a few more of the things you've found on here.
