I had found this coin last year at the best field ever. Rang up as a 55 on the V3i and the last two digits of the date I see 87.

Dan responded in another post of mine that all 1787 coppers are suspect.

Please look in the date field and let me know if you see a 87.

Thanks

Al

Don't know much about old coppers, but that's a killer find!

Dan, I have learned a valuable lesson here....don't accept a coin on face value. :lol: I should probably start carrying a magnifying glass with me.


Beautiful Copper! Gorgeous!

Thanks Donnie.....trade ya for the 1652
