1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.23-Z.4, W-3710. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. EF-45 (PCGS).
119.8 grains. A solid and attractive example of the variety, close to if not Condition Census quality for the die pair and with desirable provenance. Pleasing light steel-brown and golden-tan color, the surfaces mostly hard and glossy with just a few obverse planchet flaws but no serious marks. Fairly well centered and offering bold striking definition considering the advanced state of the obverse die.
PCGS# 686377. NGC ID: 2B2X.
