1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.2-O.2, W-2560. Rarity-5+. Mailed Bust Left. VF Details--Scratch (PCGS).
161.9 grains. Medium brown with mottled light rose and violet overtones left by an old cleaning. Hairlines are seen up close, as are a number of scratches on both sides. Faint striated flaws on the obverse, while a small natural void in the reverse rim could be mistaken as damage, which it is not. Late state obverse as seen on the 5.2-L offered previously with a large bulge toward 8 o'clock, while the reverse exhibits a similar feature near 11 to 12 o'clock. A respectably sharp example of this very scarce variety.
PCGS# 686350.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Christopher B. Young, November 2015.
