1788 VERMON

[grunt0311]

Looking for some help identifying is Vermont copper I just found. Think its a Rider 21 variety but not sure. And as far as grade goes can only guess.
Any help from you copper finders out there??

It does look like a 21. For sure a nice dig.
Did you already check out this site?

Yup that's where I got the clue it might be a RR21 unfortunately that sight doesn't show the reverse side..
I am going to try selling this coin, any suggestions where to go? Most of the grading companies don't bother
with grading colonials so not exactly sure what to do for grading this coin. I havnt done any cleaning other than
brushing the dirt with a fingernail. That was my first coin of the season. What a great way to start. Thanks for your help.
