Description
1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 3.4-F.1, W-2340. Rarity-3. Bust Right. VF-30 (PCGS).
149.4 grains. A pleasing mid-grade specimen with attractive light brown and tan surfaces. Predominantly smooth and glossy with just a few minor contact marks, minimal for the grade, and no planchet flaws or roughness at all. Nicely centered and evenly struck with the devices, legends, and date all bold. For a fairly common variety, there are surprisingly few high grade examples out there. The Mills-Ford-Partrick AU appears to be the finest known while all other major collections surveyed have had examples in the VF or EF range at best. This variety was absent from the Terranova Collection in 2012, a testament to the limited availability of nice specimens. This coin does come with an old Terranova inventory envelope, however.
PCGS# 685156.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006.
