Among the Finest Seen
1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-K, W-4430. Rarity-5. Mailed Bust Right. AU-58 (PCGS).
128.6 grains. A charming and thoroughly appealing example bathed in a blend of satiny luster and handsome glossy copper patina. The strike is generally well centered, only the left obverse and right reverse peripheral devices a bit tight to the border. Softly impressed in a few isolated areas, the letters CO in CONNEC and much of the date indistinct, but other areas are boldly to sharply defined. Struck from clashed dies, evidence for which is most prominent in the right obverse and left reverse fields. There are no flan flaws or other blemishes of note, the eye appeal and technical quality equally strong. Very nearly the equal of the Ford IX:476 coin, which was described as "An outstanding specimen, one of the nicest seen" in our (Stack's) cataloging. A find for the advanced collector assembling a top-notch set of Connecticut copper varieties.
Provenance: From the Greenway Collection. Stack's paper envelope included.
PCGS# 397. NGC ID: 2B38.
