1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6-K, W-2690. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. Fine-12 (PCGS).

126.8 grains. A challenging major variety of Connecticut copper, the 1786 Draped Bust Left type is represented by just two die varieties, Miller 6-K and 7-K, which are rare and extremely rare respectively. The present coin is a fairly pleasing and interesting example with nice chocolate-brown color and the obverse die misaligned, more so than normal, leaving an arc of long dentils from 3 to 8 o'clock. The reverse is just about centered and reasonably well struck showing about half of the date. Has a few planchet flaws and light roughness at the left reverse but no serious marks.

PCGS# 686368.
