- 1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 12.1-F.1, W-4520. Rarity-5. Mailed Bust Left. AU-50.
122.6 grains. Deep tan surfaces exhibit uniform microgranularity under low magnification, as is often the case for the variety. We note a tiny fleck of patina in the effigy's hair. The design elements are bold in all quarters, especially at the centers; Liberty's shield is bold and the three emblems thereon are crisp as well. No marks of measure mar the obverse, the reverse with a small natural planchet flaw, as struck, at the crook of Liberty's right arm, another tinier flaw just behind her head at the rim, and a smaller flaw at the I in LIB, with no other marks present. An absolutely choice specimen despite its minor flaws, and a coin that will see spirited bidding from those who appreciate high-grade Connecticut coppers.
PCGS# 403.
Provenance: From Early American History Auctions, Inc.'s sale of February 2000, lot 798. Lot tag included.
