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!

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

Off Centered State Coppers are actually not too unusual.......

Don

I don't see any around here, so i didn't know that they were common off center, i still think it's very cool like that. HH

Very nice. A CT from my home state is on my list. I will be making a trip back to my old stopping grounds and hit some of the old foundations I had found as a kid. Arty
