couple of new sites coughed up these finds , the fugio is pretty worn as is the Connecticut copper (unable to get a date ) the King George III is a 1787 and i'm pretty sure is a counterfiet . the front is in decent shape but the back is a little worse for wear . thanks for looking .

thanks Kirk ,
i think the counterfiet copper is a Machin's mills but would like a few other opinons (anyone) , this makes 24 coppers so far this year and i've had a good little streak( or should i say hot little coil) lately . take care and get out there and find some coppers man.

With a bit of practice & knowledge of coins in the US your notice the difference. For starters nearly all the Geo III coppers are counterfeit, rare to get a Regal one.

Leddel,
I too have hardly every had a whole Shoe Buckle, but I stand little chance in a ploughed field. Nice collection of goodies :icon_thumright:
