I cherrypicked myself, but require assistance with it's type/value

From a bulk lot I purchased quite some time ago. Was labelled as 1700's British halfpenny. I was going through inventory today and it didn't look right. I took a close look and it's actually a 1787 Connecticut copper. Pretty worn/damaged, but the date and enough of the legend is legible.
I could use some help with an attribution/grade, as I am clueless on American Colonial copper. Thanks!

Forget about getting it attributed if it's a variety as the services wont do attributions unless the coin is included in a contracted collection (like Newman).
I'd call it F details at best, environmental damage.
As for the attribution, it's a project in that grade using those photos. The easiest (but not easy) way may be to scroll through the 1787 Connecticuts in the Ford sale shown here and try to find a match.

Neat find!

If it turns out to be a more common variety (R-1 through R-5) the value would be minimal (under $100). It it turns out to be a rarer die variety, the price can jump from there.
There is enough on the coin to identify the variety, but it could be very time consuming unfortunately.
Hope this helps.
I thought acetone turned copper pink?
It can. I've seen it turn uncirculated copper surfaces a slightly pink color at times.
