1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 38-L.2, W-4200. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left, AUCIORI. EF-40 (PCGS).

Essentially perfect medium chocolate brown color and glossy texture give this coin great eye appeal right out of the gate. Closer study reveals a few ancient pin scratches in the left obverse that have long since toned over to match the rest of the coin. Only natural flaws are seen otherwise, with a small void at the tip of the effigy's bust and another tiny one near the ear being the most notable. Essentially perfect centering on both sides with the legends very clear and mostly sharp, including the erroneously applied AUCIORI that makes this a popular Guide Book type coin. Weakly struck through the centers as often seen.

PCGS# 687279. NGC ID: 2B2Y.
