I don't know if I'm in the right forum I found one of these while looking through my unidentified junk with my new 15X loupe Can't get a photo it's so worn,but I searched here and found it's the same as this one http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=67036Interesting find? or quite common? Either way it's fun to finally identify something thats been sitting in the junk box for years |

If it is extremely worn to the point you couldn't identify it or get a photo it might not be a Connecticut. The Nova Eborac, the later Vermont, and the British half pence both genuine, counterfeit, and the Machins Mills counterfeits all look similar. Especially in very low grade.

IF it's a bust-facing left Connecticut Copper, they're not SUPER common, but they're not incredibly uncommon.
There are TONS of varieties, and of the post-Colonial non-Federal issues, Connecticut Coppers seem to be the most abundant. That was my first one, I've since picked up a couple more. Send us a pic even if it is worn, let's see if we can figure it out! =)

There are 241 known varieties of the 1787 Connecticut coppers, with some being quite scarce to downright rare. We would need a picture of your coin to evaluate the Miller # and variety.

DBM, I've been able to identify mine as a Miller 33.4-q, or W-3415. Thanks for getting me to look it up again!

Alright alright, I know I'm terribly delinquent on this, but I've been able to to identify it as Miller 6.1-M, laughing head mailed bust facing left. This one is terrifically damaged by a hole at about 8:30 that produces a crack to the rim (2.5mm) and is reasonably porous and corroded. I'd grade it G4 details. =)
AND YES, I know YOU WANT PICS. Been a bit busy with Father's Day and all. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! ;)
