Nice finds Angel. The other copper may be a Draped Bust, the 00 with the line over it could be part of the 1/100 on the reverse :thinkingabout:

Good eye Mike. thumbsup01 That would be my initial reaction. Those '00's are actually worn 9's though. A Draped would have been nice too of course. :smitten: The obverse too has a visible S on the lower right-hand side, so that excludes a Draped Bust cent. :yes:

Thank you, Tony! :clapping: Great photo to compare. :smitten: That's what George concluded as well. :yes: That's my oldest copper. :shocked04:stretcher:
 
great copper Angel :perfect10: yours i'm pretty convinced is a Miller 9-D. by the distinctful reverse that it has (only two obverse varieties go with this one) making it pretty easy to narrow down. a pretty scarce type that they give a rarity grade or a URS-7 which equals out to only 33 to 64 good examples are known to exist. :smitten: :smitten: huge congrats
