Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.2-Z.22, W-3390. Rarity-6-. Draped Bust Left. Fine Details—Environmental Damage (PCGS).
126.1 grains. Light golden olive on the high points while most of the remaining surface area is dark with scale and porosity. Clearly cleaned at some point, but it probably wasn't all that harmful in this case, save for the partial loss of William Wallace Hays' painted die variety in the left obverse field. Pretty good detail remains. According to Clark, this is the third use (of five pairings) of the Miller 33.2 obverse.
PCGS# 685208.
