Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.8-Z.13, W-3470. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. VF-35 (PCGS).
127.0 grains. Light olive and golden brown with nuanced ruddiness in the reverse fields and a few small areas of darker patina at the upper obverse. Natural flan imperfections affect the EC of CONNEC, but the flan is largely free of such impairments otherwise. Some planchet texture roughness is noted in the centers where the detail did not completely strike up. Both sides aligned, but slightly off center toward 2 o'clock relative to the obverse.
PCGS# 685175.
