Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.13-Z.7, W-3560. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).
131.1 grains. Rather even medium brown with a faint trace of mottling in the left obverse field. Darker patina is seen in a few small natural planchet flaws, the most serious of which are low in the drapery of the effigy. Mostly smooth and glossy and quite pleasing for the grade. A bit off center on both sides. The obverse features are all free of the borders, but on the reverse INDE is against the rim, while the lower portions of the date digits are off the flan. Noted in the September 1978 Kagin sale as ex Miller Collection, which would have had to be his lot 1957, attributed as 33.11-Z.7 in that 1920 Elder sale.
PCGS# 685131.
