1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.4-Z.2, W-3410. Rarity-6. Draped Bust Left. VF-25 (PCGS).
125.8 grains. Undoubtedly a Condition Census example of this rare variety that has just barely sunk down into the Rarity-6 category. Glossy dark brown surfaces with just a few very minor traces of roughness in the left obverse field and in the reverse fields. Well centered and firmly struck with strong, well balanced detail remaining on each side. This piece is quite comparable to the Miller Sale-Ford-Twin Leaf example we sold for $1,920 in our March 2019 Baltimore Auction. That piece was slightly sharper though not as well centered and the surfaces and color of each are fairly similar. A find for the advanced Connecticut collector.
PCGS# 685169.
From the Norman G. Peters Collection.
