Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.34-W.2, W-3845. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS).
139.9 grains. Glossy medium brown with subtle nuances of rose and pale blue-green. Microporous but glossy. A tiny natural rim clip over RI and a small bump over C of AUCTORI. Slightly off center, but without major losses aside from about half of the date digits which is fairly normal for this variety. A couple of small scratches are noted on the obverse and there is a small natural fissure though the E of ET LIB. Late die state with obverse waviness and peripheral weakness due to lapping as well as a crack bisecting the die. Probably in the Condition Census as suggested by Michael Hodder and Robert Martin.
PCGS# 686335.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Tom Rinaldo, November 1994; our (Stack's) sale of the George C. Perkins Collection, January 2000, lot 416; Christopher B. Young, December 2003.
