Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.5-T.2, W-3420. Rarity-5-. Draped Bust Left, Skeleton Hand. VF-30 (PCGS).
138.6 grains. Light steel brown save for the lower central reverse that exhibits mellowed orange brown where the surface was abraded long ago. This is only obvious at a certain angle to the light, otherwise the surface is pleasing. A small rim bump is also noted at the lower obverse. Off center toward the upper right on the obverse with CONN against the border, while the reverse is centered high. The lower right obverse and upper right reverse are both weak from an uneven strike. Painted die varieties on the obverse in white, in the style of the Frederick Canfield Collection, per Randall Clark.
PCGS# 685171.
