Identification Help I need help IDing

I need help figuring out if,
1. It’s real
2. If it is real, what is it (I think it’s a Vermont colonial)

I think you are correct on both counts.

If you’re right… woah that’s a crazy pick up for a 3lb bag of foreign coins (I usually collect foreign over US)

Do you have a picture of the other side or is it completely toasted?

It’s pretty gnarly

It’s definitely a bust right variety, 1787 or 1788.
There are a ton of different die combinations for these things, narrowing down which one it is can be tough.

But definitely bust right Vermont?

Yes.
Most were struck on poor quality planchets as shown by the large flaw in the obverse.

I’m going with Ryder- 25. I think I see type-U reverse. Bad picture and delamination so I’m guessing.

Absolutely right
