vermont copper

[kiddrock33]

my best find so far , was last sunday on veterans day, i dug what i thought was a bottle cap, until i removed the dirt, i then saw a back similar to a 1729 british georgius rex 2 , but then i saw the word inde? never heard that before, it turns out it is a 1786 vermont "baby head" copper. i read it is rare, that sounds great to me. i can only find a few past auctions of these type of coins, im unsure what it is worth, mostly because i dont know how to grade coins, or much of anything about coins, i learned a bit , by researching this coin. please feel free to tell me what you know about this coin, grade , or value. thanks for looking matty

I have found two colonial coins in 15 years. (Erie canal)
They were both very hard to ID. This looks perty darn nice!
Look in Red Book of United States Coins.
It is on page 68 in the 2010 edition.

i will check the book out , from what i read all baby heads were made from poor quality blanks , and that the coins were poorly printed so a lot may not be wear
