Unfortunately it is not a 1652 New England coin. It may be a counterstamped Spanish coin. Larger photos showing more detail may help.
The Confederate coin appears to be a replica. What errors are you seeing?
I've yet to see a Liberty cap cent I didn't like! Congratulations.
Yeah, we are still waiting!
Rosa Americanas and Connecticut coppers. Sometimes other things catch my eye, but these are the ones I am working on.
I agree, it does appear to be a cast copy. Check the edge for a seam, definitely a copy if there is one. You can also weigh the coin, if genuine...

Does PCGS attribute Connecticuts? I have only seen them labeled "draped bust Left". I would let someone like Chris Young look at it. Or post a...
I realize die state and wear can distort details, but I am afraid I am just not seeing it. The angle of the A on yours seems quite different than...
Looks like it worked, it is gone! Thanks!
What is the best way to deal with an obvious counterfeit, report it? Send message to seller in case they genuinely are unaware?...
Wow, those are some beauties! Fugios are one of my favorite coins.
