Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 31.2-r.3, W-3210. Rarity-1. Draped Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).
135.8 grains. Light mahogany brown on the obverse with patches of superficial oxidation near the rims from about 6 to 9 o'clock. The reverse is richer brown, and more consistent in tone. Fairly hard and glossy, but for traces of microgranularity. Still, the eye appeal is quite pleasing. One small natural flaw on the obverse near the second N of CONNEC, while a larger one is noted on the reverse just under the branch hand. Evenly struck and well centered on a seemingly broad flan that has allowed for plenty of room between the peripheral details and the borders.
PCGS# 685385.
