Thread: King George or CT copper?

    King George or CT copper?

    So found this coin last Saturday, and I've been told it was a King George, and others say it's a CT Copper... Or maybe it's something else all together. I've been searching online to identify it, but coming up with nothing.
    The obverse is pretty smooth with little detail, but the Reverse it totally toasted with only 1 clue and that is the letter N.
    Input on what this may be would be great..

    As Isaac mentioned above , it is a Connecticut copper . if you rotate the reverse you see the "N" where it should be oriented on the coin and can almost make out the other letters next to it the "I" and the "D" for the word "INDE" Scott it will be difficult to say what variety but that bust type are on some 1787 and 1788 types .
