That's why it hasn't been Id'ed, it was in the junk pile. Some of these are rare enough to still be worth $$$ even in this condition. Of course I will not be that lucky.

I already learnt that some of these make crazy prices. Good luck!

PS. It amazes me some of these make 10 what a rare Celtic Silver Unit does :icon_scratch:

A local fellow here sold a Vermont he dug for $2300 USD. It was by no means perfect, not even close in fact.

Do these collectors have money to burn? If I was going to collect coins (which I do), they would be at the bottom of the list. I would get a nice medieval goldie or the like for that price!

Yikes, well, it is in much better shape than my last CT copper found this year and a hundred times better than the copper I found this morning, which I still cannot even ID as to what it was, other than it is 9.43 grams. I will look at the charts later for yours Iron Patch, but I think some key areas of detail for attributing variety, just may not be there.

Crusader, it is a shame that a lot of Brits say they throw their coppers(KGII & KGIII) in the trash so to speak, a lot of knowledge about the counterfeits could be learned if more were saved and studied. A group from C4 has been in the process for years of trying to identify the counterfeits by place of origin and assigning family names to groups.

I think the positioning of the 87 narrows it down quite a bit, but even from there they are looking very close. Condition is the reason I haven't bothered with this one having dug it at least 5 years ago. I may be able to clean it slightly better.

I would never throw away a counterfiet, to be honest I have found very few & would treasure those. I know just the man to record them as well. So don't worry nothing lost from me other than blank Regals.

I don't find a great number but I like all types of finds so usually satisified with hunting any old site.

Me too, only difference is my old sites are older :-* :wink:

I can tell you do your research & it pays off for you. You have a great collection which like mine will only get better. :thumbsup:

Keep posting I like your finds.

I have family in Canada & was thinking of going there one day to Ski.

Yes I think your sites have me by a few years. I don't hit the Roman stuff too often. :-X

Ski? You mean sliding down a hill with 2 detectors in hand? I'd be into that. :D

IP, I think your attribution might be correct, I have not seen anything that does not match the Miller 33.2-Z.5 variety, now go find a rare variety.

Still no detail at all on the copper I found today, so I am giving my 6 year old grandson some training of toothpicking and cotton swabbing a copper. :wink:

He is actually doing a good job of picking off the crud, this copper is without a doubt, a Whatisit! :P I think he will be paid off when I taking him hunting and he finds his first Large Cent before the age of 7 or 8. (I hope)

Has he got the bug?

I tried getting my Brother interested & I found him asleep in the middle of a stubble corn field. Very unconfortable I thought :D
