Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 37.10-RR, W-4165. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS).
146.4 grains. Light olive brown surfaces are mostly hard and smooth save for a very faint microgranularity and remnants of natural planchet texture where not well struck up. These dies were used only in this pairing as far as has been observed, and they seem to have failed early, with bulging typical. Weakness through the upper obverse and lower reverse, similar to that seen on the Henry Miller coin and the piece in the Norweb Collection. However, this is well-centered and features strong legends throughout. The date is not struck up, however. A painted die variety in the left obverse field is suggestive of a Frederick Canfield duplicate.
PCGS# 687271.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier probably ex Frederick Canfield; Jim LaSarre, via John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), June 2006.
