State copper? Need help

[crabstang44]

Found this in the woods where I have found many large cents. Looks like 1787 or 1737. But it's not a kg3 and it don't look like a kg3. It is slightly larger in diameter than a kg3 I already have. On the back left side writing I see the letter D what is this

Or maybe VT. Might be tough to say much more in that condition.

Well that is an Excellent machine. I know several people that have them and they swear by them. I've never found a copper what do you think the best way to clean one would be should i ever run across one.

the ones i have found are rough so i do electrolosis for about 10 minutes, then copper polish, then a few wipes with 1200 grit sandpaper to really bring out the details
