Description
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 41-ii, W-4235. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left, AUCTOPI / ETIIB. VF Details—Edge Repaired (PCGS).
138.6 grains. Light golden brown surfaces are uniform in tone and fairly hard with only a few minor obverse nicks or flaws. Struck on an irregular flan that is a bit out of round, featuring a very flattened curvature to the upper left of the effigy's face. This area seems to have faint file marks, so it might be the result of a ragged imperfection having been smoothed out long ago. The tops of the PI in the legend are impacted, but engraving error is still clear. The same is true on the reverse where the critical parts of the ETIIB are visible, though the tops of the letters are lost. Nice eye appeal despite the irregularity.
PCGS# 687371.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) Robert W. Miller Sale, November 1992, lot 2367; Jim LaSarre, via John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), June 2006.
