Here's a different variant, a "CONNFC" type where CONNEC, the abbreviation for Connecticut, is defective and produces a misspelling. Neither the coin, nor the photography appoaches CCU's, but I'm doing my best...

<< <i>Copper colonial nugget for the weekend: Colonial Collectors Union's beautiful CT coin below is an choice of the "AUCTOPI" variety. The 'R' of the word "AUCTORI" (Latin='by authority of'), is defective producing the misspelling:

It's not much, but a little assist for you... (that's a pretty rare colonial!)
Lee's pictures make the coin look more real- like it would look in hand while PCGS's photos look a bit cartoonish.

Result just in today Submission received 3-27-07 Posted today SUPERFAST turnaround on the submission this time. The 36P was originally ICG 67 RED nicest example I've seen for this date.
The 1909 bought raw for $24 thought maybe a matte Proof but will take the MS65RB must be
one of the first 1909 from a VDB Die as you can still see the faint outline of the VDB on the Bottom
of the reverse. The 1930 was originally a ICG 65 as well was hoping for a possiblity of a 66 Very
nice original mint Fresh strike. Submission # 3483726, had some roosie disappointments on the
submission. Mike.
Someday REAL American HERO's will be on our COINS.
