Description
1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 2-A.1, W-2305. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust Right, Roman Head. Fine-15 (PCGS).
119.0 grains. Light mahogany brown with the obverse effigy a bit ruddier. This causes a bit of a contrast against the browner fields, adding to the usual accentuation of the high relief of the motif. Microgranular with scattered tiny pits but these are not distracting as the coin appears nicely glossy upon first glance. Struck on a nice, unflawed flan, the obverse features nearly perfect centering while the reverse is a bit low. Almost the full upper halves of the date digits remain on the flan, however. A trace of central reverse roughness is natural planchet texture that did not strike out. A satisfying Roman Head.
PCGS# 685149.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jim Cicik, November 1993.
