Is there any detail on the obverse? I collect Connecticut coppers by die variety, they are fascinating coins. They are surprisingly affordable for such a historic coin. I just bought a Rarity 6 variety, 13 to 30 estimated known, for $25 in fully identifiable condition. I fully agree that there would be no point in having this one slabbed, enjoy it as is!
There are details that I was able to identify it as 1785.

I would have been happy just to have found the two large cents. Finding that Connecticut copper is icing on the cake. Congratulations! Have you had it stored away for the last 45 years, or do you take it out and show it to people?
I have it stored . I bring it out to show friends. The Large cents have legible dates. I always wonder when/year it was dropped. Who held it. Questions that will never be answered.

Thanks for your answer. Yes it is a cool find. It was found on Staten Island.

Hi all, In 1978 I found a 1785 Connecticut Colonial Copper Cent. I was doing a garden for my mother. After digging two feet deep. I came across three coins. One 1827 and 1829 Large Cent. The third coin was a 1785 Connecticut Copper Cent. It has been eroded, being under the ground for almost 200 years. but under magnification, you can make out the year. I would like to have it encapsulate but unsure if could be. The other coins dates are legible Thoughts? Advice?
