Description
The Taylor Miller 6.1-A.1
High Condition Census
1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-A.1, W-2390. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust Right. AU-53 (PCGS).
137.6 grains. Glossy olive brown with pale mahogany tones in the protected recesses of both sides. A bit of light porosity in places and a couple of old digs just below and left of the ear. Two other abrasions are seen at the lower right reverse. Well centered and rather attractive, with excellent detail everywhere it is struck up. Some of the central details are a little soft, as often seen. Certainly a Condition Census specimen. When we cataloged the Mint State and obvious CC#1 coin in Syd's main line collection, we called the Hall-Brand-Oechsner-Partrick coin the likely CC#2. This is not much different than the Partrick example, having similar color and sharpness, though that is probably a little nicer overall. A very noteworthy example of the variety.
PCGS# 685166.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Frederick B. Taylor Collection, March 1987, lot 2320; Anthony Terranova Collection.
