- Popular 1785 African Head Connecticut
1785 Connecticut copper. Miller 4.1-F.4, W-2355. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Right. African Head. EF-40 (PCGS).
128.4 grains. Lovely contrasting tones of dark chocolate and oaken tan coexist between fields and devices. Extremely sharp, trivially microgranular on the obverse, very attractive on both sides. A tiny rim nick right of the cinquefoil after INDE is the only mark worth mentioning. High grade African Heads are always popular, as this is among the most distinctive portraits in the Connecticut series and most survivors are well worn or suffering from environmental deterioration. This piece offers far above average quality and a fine provenance.
Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the Laird Park Collection, May 1976, lot 77.
PCGS Population: 2; 12 finer (AU-58 finest).
PCGS# 319
