1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.1-m, W-3000. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left--Double Struck, Second Strike 35% Off Center--VF-30 (PCGS).

This scarcer Draped Bust Left variety is characterized by the first C in CONNEC embedded in the hair (although Miller states it is "partly on head"), and the lower curve of the same C is not visible. This obverse was only used with this single reverse. An interesting specimen that was double struck with the second impression 35% off center to the 5 o'clock position (obverse). The surfaces are deeper brown with minimal planchet roughness. Despite the double strike, the devices are well defined.

PCGS# 370. NGC ID: 2B2X.

Estimate: $ 1500
