    I've had this Connecticut Copper for several years now after finding it in a foreign coin box back in 2017. I'm certainly not by any means an expert on Connecticut coppers. However, I was hoping someone here could confirm the attribution I made below and possibly provide some more insight. Regardless, I apologize for the size disparity of the combined images of both the obverse and reverse as I'm not exactly an expert at photoshop.

    Right off the bat I see a mistakes . The first part on the reverse I see Auctori : cinquefoil, cinquefoil, CONNEC : cinquefoil .
    The obverse is harder for me to see, you might be missing something or two ?. Next comes looking up the Miller # , Have you looked here ?Connecticut Coppers - Introduction (nd.edu)
    If you need further help. Let me know.

    It's a 33.3 - W.1 , which is a Rarity 4 variety I believe. It threw me a little at first because I didn't see the first cinquefoil before AUCTORI, but it is there just faint. The 33 family of obverses drive me crazy, there are so many of them and so little difference between them!
