Connecticut copper, shield nickel, seated dime..

[dougj7]

Another good hunt today. I Found my 1st Connecticut copper, shield nickel, and seated dime. The shield nickel was in the same hole with the 11 crusty indians including one fatty.

Wow, unreal pocket spill. But what a bummer the highly mineralized soil toasted them.

An indian cent pocket spill is rare indeed ... too bad they took such a beating in the ground. Still a nice save .. congrats !

What it appears you found is a Connecticut AUCTOPI variety. There were 3 different obverse dies used with this variety and several reverse dies. They are all quite scarce. It appears as if yours is Obverse 42. I have one in my collection, see photo that is obverse 40. FYI, I was a contributor to the Redbook for about 10 years from the mid 1990's to 2003.
