1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 30-hh.1, W-3175. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left, ETLIR. AU-50 (PCGS).

136.7 grains. Honest-to-goodness luster persists, particularly on the reverse, amidst medium brown surfaces and steel devices. Some very thin and shallow parallel planchet striations are seen, no bad marks, very little actual wear. Struck to 3 o'clock on the obverse and reverse, legends and date complete. Edge crude at 10:30 on the obverse, with a natural knob, as made. The strike is full and exacting on each side. A noteworthy, possibly Condition Census example of the die variety as well as an excellent representative of the ET LIR legend.

PCGS# 391. NGC ID: 2B36.

From our (Stack's) May 1969 sale, "Consignment Harrison," lot 19; our sale of the John "Jack" Royse Collection, November 2012, lot 6048.

Estimate: $1’200.00
