Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.16-l.2, W-3620. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).
149.2 grains. Light mahogany brown with a few tiny flecks of verdigris in places. Glossy and pleasing with some light granularity and minor surface marks visible under close inspection. A few small planchet flaws are seen on both sides, but only those through the drapery of the effigy seem noteworthy. Well centered on the obverse, with the reverse aligned high and the upper portion of that side weakly defined, but this is not uncommon to the variety. A very satisfying example of the variety that is similar to the finest quality specimen in our online archives.
PCGS# 685138.
