Need help with old coin

[Dennis 2]

I found this 1785 coin today. I looked in the Red book but can't find a match. Some are close ( like the 1785 african Head" but not the same.
On the front I can make out the word "INDE" and on the back "AUCTORI "
Thanks for looking . any info would be great.

I'd say this is a Connecticut copper, 1875-1888, of which there were also counterfeits.

Maybe you can match yours from the photos of those from the following site: Connecticut Coppers
The pictures are accessed by links near the bottom of the page.

This was my first time out this year .My goal was to brake the 1800's this year. I guess my new goal this to find my first 1600 coin which won't be easy.

Most Likely this one than. Notice the shape of the head. No other in the book looks like this.

It was exciting, I love find old coins. To bad it wasn't in better condition . Old copper take a beating in the ground here in MA.
