1910S_1C Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 01/24/2025 9:40 pm Recently, I cherrypicked the pictured Connecticut Copper out of a dealer's $1 bin. I was wondering if anybody could identify the precise variety of this coin. I note that it is a bust facing left, has right obverse legend CONNEC, and has left reverse legend INDE ET. Due to the mutilated condition of the coin, I am unable to make any further analysis and was hoping that somebody with more knowledge in Connecticut Coppers than myself could weigh in.

Wow, that was impressive; I was not sure that somebody would be able to make out enough to say it was much beyond what I was able to identify. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Root River Mint New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 01/25/2025 11:06 am I picked up a worn Connecticut copper recently and would like to try and ID it myself first. Is there an online reference for varieties and if not, what book should I get? Thanks and sorry for piggybacking on this post. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1661 Posts	Posted 01/25/2025 12:46 pm For ID'ing Connecticuts you can get by with, "Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins", but the absolute best is "The Identification and Classification of Connecticut Coppers" By Randall P.
