1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-G, W-2525. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left. EF-45 (PCGS).
125.6 grains. Medium olive-brown surfaces that are fairly high grade and well preserved. The obverse is rather glossy while the reverse is somewhat more matte due to fine roughness natural to the planchet. There is very little wear and traces of what could be called mint frost in some of the protected areas. No impairments of any consequence, just some trivial planchet flaws. Late die state. Struck slightly off center but in an ideal way such that the date is bold and fully on the planchet. An attractive coin, perfect as an example of the date.
PCGS# 686827.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova Collection, January 2012.
