1787 New York Copper

[Mike in Berks]

Hi everyone, i got permission to search a circa 1810 farmhouse this week I was searching it today
and after digging lots of clad coins i got a penny reading at 4 1/2 inches pulled out a copper coin
and i used some water on a rag to get some detail so i'd have an idea of what i had i searched a
while longer drove home and i was ready to post it in the Coin Forum but decided to get my
Redbook out and there it was in "Post Colonial Issues"
1787 NOVA EBORAC Reverse, Seated Figure Facing Right
my oldest and best find of the year............so far i'm not sure if their's a date under the crud
and i'm afraid to clean it anyone know if it's a common coin ? or is it a rare one ?
any T Net people ever dig one of these ?

Well, i said i'd post photo's of the front of the property sometime now's the time i guess
The house and land are owned by the developer now and their breaking ground in the spring
which could be any day which means this farmhouse that took many hours of labor to
build in 1812 " WILL BE DEMOLISHED " and in it's place will be a shopping center PROGRESS
It's 20 acres an this place would've made a great B & B or an office not to be though
I did hear their going to save the stones to use for the public walking - biking paths in the area
I'm just glad i got the chance to search and save what i could before this place is paved over
Must be a "coincedence" because i drove by the place today to see if it was there yet and it was
then when i got home i saw rmptr bumped my post up yesterday i was real suprised
I still might have a chance with the developer problem is trying to be there when the right people
are there too and when they start moving the dirt they work fast time will tell
Another coincedence I talked to the owner from the early 60's who did most of the improvements
he put the inground pool in and i asked where did the dirt around the pool came from the property ?
his reply was ... yes So, i'm 100% sure the copper i found was lost on the property made my day
sorry for the long read thanks for all the replys an i think i made the photo's to small it's been awhile










good luck out there everyone !!
