Wow! :wow:

Two great coins, Gary! That 1788 Connecticut copper still has some great detail! Terrific find!

The Barber Half is a fantastic find too! I've yet to find a Barber Half. Some day!

Congrats on the successful hunt! I can't wait to see what else you find on those 600 acres!

Some great finds you got there. I have yet to dig a colonial copper, but as the saying goes, someday. Congrats on those two finds and looking forward to your future finds from that 600 acres

its a legit Connecticut copper Gary , it just shares the same reverse as one of the Machin Mills die reverses is all . this makes it a very unique variety to have . congrats again .
