Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 9-E, W-2855. Rarity-5+. Mailed Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS).
143.3 grains. Glossy olive brown on both sides with the reliefs just a trifle lighter in tone. A trivial old scratch is noted on both sides, but evidence of handling beyond simple light wear is minimal. Natural planchet roughness did not strike out on the obverse, affecting the lower face, neck and fields left of these features. The reverse is softly detailed in the corresponding area, but much smoother. The misaligned dies resulted in a broad rim centered on 9 o'clock on this side, while the rightmost legend and top of Liberty's pole hand are lost over the edge. Dies near medal-turn orientation, as often seen.
PCGS# 686414.
