Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 19-g.4, W-3050. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left. AU-53 (PCGS).
Rich olive brown across both sides with only a couple of tiny inclusions of vivid red associated with trivial natural flan flaws along the left obverse rim and at the pole arm. Glossy, with vestiges of retained luster and excellent eye appeal. Nearly perfect centering and well-balanced detail throughout. A relatively early state of this reverse which later forms a rather substantial bulge over the date that eventually partially obscures the upper halves of the date digits. The date here is sharp, as is the exergual line and other local details.
PCGS# 370. NGC ID: 2B2X.
