1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 9-E, W-4500. Rarity-4+. Mailed Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).
136.4 grains. An attractive and high quality example, conservatively graded as there is noticeable frosty luster in the fields and very little actual wear. Rich golden-brown in color with some darker streaks where the planchet was striated. A late die state, heavily clashed, and weakly struck in some areas of the obverse effigy and the upper reverse. Definition at the upper obverse and lower reverse is exceptional with fine detail present on the effigy's hair and the shield, globe, and lower drapery of the seated figure.
PCGS# 687261.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Jim LaSarre, via John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), June 2006.

Estimate: $1200
