I acquired a recent Connecticut Cent that is interesting, in that it is off-center on the strike and the date is missing because of it but with most Connecticuts, that&#039;s common and they are still attributable. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t have it in hand yet but the auction pics were good enough to attribute it so the question is, if you accept the challenge, what&#039;s its attribution, which will also include what its date is? Did the seller guess its date correctly?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3476/connecticutwc8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are some reference sites to help you attribute it:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/CT-Copper.intro.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/CT-Copper.intro.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/CT-Copper.intro.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/connecticut_coppers/ConnecticutCoppers.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/connecticut_coppers/ConnecticutCoppers.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/connecticut_coppers/ConnecticutCoppers.htm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The key is to examine the coin first for all &quot;interesting&quot; attributes then to find that one in the references above.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It isn&#039;t easy but I already know what it is so I know it&#039;s doable but it also helps to know a little about these to reduce the hunt.&nbsp; :whistle:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: If I&#039;ve already told you what it is, do not spoil this for others by posting the variety but if I haven&#039;t, feel free to post your answer here and I&#039;ll let you know if you got it right or not.&nbsp; :hammer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
