- 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.38-Z.1, W-3925. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left, INDE Over INDN. EF-40 (PCGS).
138.02 grains. Rich chocolate brown hues dominate the complexion and are accented by traces of original mint red luster in the protected areas. The centers show a typical softness but the peripheral elements are sharper than is usually seen from these dies. The obverse is aligned towards 8 o'clock, pulling AUCTORI tight to the rim but leaving the letters unharmed. A fine crack encircles nearly the entire obverse, starting at the front of the bust and continuing around through CONNEC. The reverse is also fatigued, showing a bisecting crack that runs from 4 to 11 o'clock across the seated figure. An exceptional example of this rare variety, far sharper than the Collection SLT:7333 example and just about as fine as the Craige:11228 specimen.
Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
PCGS# 370. NGC ID: 2B2X.
