more info to chew on__________too big for a farthing, about 2 MM smaller than a halfpenny (also thinner). I am leaning toward CT or VT Colonial :dontknow:. FMERG got 2 CT coppers from this farm.
Geo II, maybe....

I can see Geo II head, so maybe a counterfeit halfpenny.

too tough to call definitively imho. I see a geo ii obverse (I see a distinct piggy eye), but without deeper comparison could be persuaded towards a Connie based on the reverse. Left facing Vermont bust is a stretch based on scarcity alone, but the details don't evoke a Harmon mint coin to my eye.

A fun find and a productive field!
