- 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1.1-A, W-2700. Rarity-3. Small Head Right, ETLIB INDE. VG-8 (PCGS).
129.18 grains. A delightfully glossy example of this popular variety, painted in a blend of caramel and chocolate brown hues. The obverse is slightly drawn towards 10 o'clock, leaving AUCTORI tight against the edge. The bust is boldly pronounced and evenly worn, remaining entirely free of distracting imperfections. The reverse is well centered but subject to the softness that is typical for the variety. A minor rim bruise is apparent at 11 o'clock though it is well integrated into the patina. Not a major rarity by any standard, yet an iconic Guide Bookvariety in the Connecticut copper series that is always subject to overwhelming demand.
Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
PCGS# 346.
