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

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.
Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
Very cool. That one remains on my bucket list. A rare find indeed. Congrats!

Congrats on the Nova Scott , Jim is probably right the coin is most likely a 1785 variety !
