Old coin

[HuntersWife]

The arrival of spring weather allowed for a dig this am. My husband no sooner stepped into a field and found this 1787 cent. Its in great shape! He also got these 2 musket balls. And so it begins......

That's a Connecticut copper and it looks like a nice one! Congrats! If you can post clearer pics someone should be able to ID the variety for you. Here's some more info for you, keep up the good work!

that connecticut copper is in better shape than any i can remember seeing dug.
great looking coin. congrats to your husband!
i find that it's fairly common to walk right up to the best find of the day first thing.
most of the time it's just going to where the conditions look most promising, but
i wonder...

Clearer and larger too. Big difference in value between the common and extremely rare... and you have the condition so definitely worth figuring out.

 

[HuntersWife]

My husband looked it up. It is very common. But because of the condition it is still a really nice find.

Way to go HuntersWife, nice colonial copper find. Dwayne, Does my "CC" qualify as having a lot of detail too?

wow thats awesome!

I had someone tell me mine should grade VF. HuntersWife's looks as good. I saw another this week at my club meeting, a 1787 "CC" about one grade less and not as much detail but still way above average for colonial finds around my area. Coppers and large cents are not usually found with very good detail around here. Normally if I can date and ID the type of coin I am happy.
