Headed out early today and went back to hunting the field edges and within an hour got another bucket lister. Vermont copper with britannia. I'm disappointed in myself, as I gave her a kiss on the head with the lesche. And like every other copper from this field , no date.. but, another bucket list item checked off :)
.. and after the wife and I have been checking out the list of Vermont's we feel this could be from 1787

Nice string of bucket listers and it may be the photo but the ding is hardly noticeable. Keep this up and you'll need to start a new bucket list. Congrats WD

Terrific find, Scott! Congrats on finding two bucket listers in one weekend! That coin looks like it will clean up better. Del is often able to identify the year and variety.

Good job! :clapping:

No words on the back, but after going through all the Vermont examples in the book, we found more than likely it was a Britannia
