    I may have found another nice copper!

    I went out again today to where I found the Mass copper yesterday. If my hopes are correct, I think I found a Nova Constellatio!! It's got the rays and stars, but on the back all I can see are the letters RN I think. It looks like there are other possibilities like some sort of Vermont coin, too.
    All I've done is a light brushing; I don't want to mess things up like I think I did with the Mass cent. Any help with an ID would be appreciated.

    yeah we gotta have some better pictures Ray try having the light source casting across the face of the coin , it usually shows better detail.

    Between the two pictures you posted earlier, It's definitely the VT copper if it's one of those. The fact the center of the reverse has the raised circle. As well the rays have sharper/deeper edges on the VT which is like the pic he posted. Good call Dan/George. Nice find Kray
