Definitely Connecticut, but I think the giveaway for the variety is at about 11:00 on the reverse: a horizontal three-leaved ornament in the legend (called a fleuron, I believe). For 1786, this should be diagnostic for the Q reverse, which is unique to the die pairing Miller 5.9-Q. The sprig fits best for this reverse, as well as the colons after INDE and LIB. Yea or nay, amida? Or vermontensium?

I got to give it to you philadelphian. I only looked quickly but you nailed it. So hard, for me, with angled pics and much wear/damage...in hand is easier. @ the op.... with the planchet flaw and corrosion I, personally, would not pay more than $50 raw for it.
