From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. Pedigree from the Early Cents Auctions Houston Money Show sale part 1, sold on 01/17/25 as lot #88 and described as: “1785 Connecticut Miller 4.1-F.4 R1 "African Head" MBR, PCGS graded XF45. Mostly glossy medium chocolate brown. Looks smooth but uniform microscopic porosity covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. No marks or verdigris, and the eye appeal of this piece is really nice. The highpoints are smooth. Struck very slightly off center to K-1 leaving the bottom of the date tight to the edge of the planchet (as usual for this variety). The "African Head" is strong. Not nearly as nice as the previous lot but still one of the finer "African Head" Connecticut coppers. The attribution and "African Head" feature are noted on the PCGS label.” The coin sold for $1,800, and this is actually the SECOND time I have owned this coin: I also purchased it from the Heritage ANA auction on 08/22/24, lot #91067, where I paid $1,508.40. Additionally, the PCGS website also reveals a prior Stacks Bowers sale record on 11/11/20, lot #4085, where it was described as: “Another Nice 1785 African Head. 1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-F.4, W-2355. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Right, African Head. EF-45 (PCGS). 132.2 grains. Even dark chocolate brown, an unusually attractive shade, over finely but evenly granular surfaces. Perfectly centered and more or less unflawed, aside from the non-smooth texture. This is not quite as sharp as the preceding lot but is still an especially nice example of one of the marquee varieties in the entire series. From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. The coin sold for $1,620 in that EPU sale. This coin is very attractive with rich medium chocolate brown surfaces that are glossy but have just a hint of roughness. Not perfect, but anything nicer starts to get pretty pricey! PCGS Price Guide Value $3300. PCGS certification# 685159.45/40482157 with “African Head, Miller 4.1-F.4” on the label.
From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. 1786 Connecticut copper, M5.3-N, W2575, Hercules Head, R3. This coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS as F15, and it's WAY above average for this major Redbook variety. This variety is commonly seen in a later die state with a buckled reverse that causes the date to disappear, but this is a premium early die state example with a full date on the reverse and plenty of bust definition on the obverse. Excellent surfaces, color, and eye appeal, plus a nice pedigree from The Long Island collection. If this price feels like "full retail," that because it's VERY hard to find this type with such a bold, readable date, and there are some prior Heritage examples that have sold between $1762.50 - $1840. Ex-Long Island Collection; Heritage 04/18/22 lot 44205, which sold for $1050 as NGC F15 to CVM. I purchased this beauty from CVM on 09/17/22 and crossed the coin over to PCGS F15. PCGS #68635.15/46965028 with "Hercules Head Miller 5.3-N" listed on the label.
