OFFSTRUCK 1780'S CONNECTICUT COPPER

Headed back up to the 1740 home for the day.still plenty of junk in the yard but managed a few keepers again. a 1864 IH think it's an "L" cuz the neckline is pointed small flat button,a victorian button,a large cloak or dandy button.a aluminum bottle check token, a CHIEF thing.maybe went on front of a fireman's or policeman's dress hat? and swinging into the matted down flower garden near house got a nice copper reading.out pops a 1780's Connecticut copper.It's so offstruck that the date never made it onto the coin
I got 60 within my sights now!

A very nice group of finds, the Conn copper is 1787 without a doubt, most likely a Miller 32.2-X.1 variety.

Re: OFFSTRUCK 1780'S CONNECTICUT COPPER

sweet, funky, offstruck state copper!
i've gotten connecticuts that were a little off, but never that much.
60 coppers, a GW or two- what's still on your wish list for the year?
last year you were certainly had the best NE US results for the year,
this year i believe you've got the country wrapped up.
keep it up!

That off center copper is way cool and could be a one of a kind. It could be worth alot to a coin collector. It's the only one i've ever seen. HH

You'll make 60 no question in my mind, heck it was 60 degrees here today, a little wet though.

Good finds, I like the chicken too.
