Went out today to the wheat/cornfield, the pastures are chest high in grass, so I've been working the edges were the farmer mows the paths. I'm pretty confident that I found my first Nova Constellatio Copper, no date however. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge in copper coins can verify. If I am correct, its a bucket lister for me:)

I'm no expert but I'm certain of one thing, it's a COPPER! :hystericallaugh:

Grats on the Nova. Nabbed one myself. Idk. Hard to tell on my phone exactly how many leaves are in that wreath. Your script US I believe is only on the 1785 variety. The '83 is real scarce. But if you know the amount of leaves on wreath, you can narrow to a variety. Mine was something like a Crosby 3-B.

No doubt that it's a Nova Constellatio! What an amazing find, Scott! You had an incredible weekend. We can't find coins like that in Illinois. Such a cool piece of history!

:congrats:
