Description

1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-B.1, W-4420. Rarity-5+. Mailed Bust Right--Overstruck Off Center on Nova Constellatio Copper--VF-25 (PCGS).
126.0 grains. A neat piece, struck about 20% off center over a Nova Constellatio copper leaving bold portions of the host coin's legends where the Connecticut dies missed. LIBERTAS is visible at the lower obverse and LATIO a the upper reverse. Remnants of the all-seeing eye and glory of rays are visible at the center of the reverse as well. Pleasing medium brown surfaces, the fields a few shades darker than the devices. Glossy and problem-free with only trivial roughness in places and few, light, grade-consistent marks.
PCGS# 687251.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Superior's ANA 2000 National Money Show Auction, March 2000, lot 22; Jim LaSarre, via John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), June 2006.

Estimate: $1800
