1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 41-ii, W-4235. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left, AUCTOPI / ETIIB. EF-45 (PCGS).

138.9 grains. Mostly uniform light golden brown save for a few superficial patina spots mostly on the obverse. A small one is also noted at the date. Faint steely brown outlines are seen around some design features. Glossy and fairly hard surfaces with no distracting flan flaws, though a few tiny chips are noted around the periphery and there are a couple of very small voids within the portrait. Well struck with almost ideal centering on both sides. One of Dr. Thomas Hall's coins, with his characteristic Painted Die Variety neatly applied to the edge. Good detail, if a little soft at the centers, as usual. Likely a Condition Census coin.

PCGS# 376. NGC ID: 2B2Z.
