- Former Guide BookPlate Coin 1785 Connecticut copper. Miller 3.4-F.2, W-2345. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Right. EF-45 (PCGS). 143.6 grains. Glossy medium brown with a bit of frost remaining around the design elements. Just a really pretty piece, choice for the assigned grade. The striking is a bit off-center, to the base on the obverse and the top on the reverse, with some unstruck area seen around both sides. A few peripheral fissures are noted in the upper left obverse, harmless to the excellent aesthetic appeal. No post-striking marks are seen, and the reverse is fully choice. This piece is in the top tier of survivors from these dies, though perhaps not quite as high grade as the finest known Perkins coin. Its eye appeal recommends it so highly that, when the Archangel collector acquired this coin, it was the Guide Book plate coin. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from David Sonderman, August 1981. PCGS# 316 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
