Miller 1.2-C R.3 1787 MBR “mutton head” W-2720
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 11.2-K, W-2875. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left. 157.9 grains. A pleasing, golden brown example of this common die marriage, with some minor planchet flecks that do not interfere with the bold strike and overall positive visual appeal. Housed in an PCGS EF-40 encapsulation (PCGS tag included) for this coin’s last auction appearance, a series of 4 small punch marks at truncation of the bust have earned this coin a “Devices Engraved” moniker from PCGS. We believe that these 4 marks, seemingly made by a gang punch, might be an old collector’s mark, much like the famous “D” punch in the cloud of the Dexter-Dunham 1804 Dollar that is also known on a 1797 $10 gold piece. The Miller 1.1-A from the Twin Leaf Collection also had three small, deliberate punch marks between the upper exergual line and the globe that are similar to the punches on this 11.2-K. A fascinating coin deserving of further study. From the Robert M. Martin Collection Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. From our sale of October 29, 2014, lot 6122; Heritage’s sale of February 26, 2015, lot 1218. PCGS #349 and #686418.

Purchased coin on 1/3/2022 Paid $3900 from Guilford Coin Exchange CAC sticker 1916-D 10C VF30 PCGS. The elusive nature of the 1916-D Mercury dime was recognized as early as the 1930s, because of the popularity of coin boards and holders during that era. The present coin shows moderate, even wear on both sides, with a bold mintmark. The surfaces are lightly toned in shades of gold and ice-blue. Housed in a green label holder. From The Dustinn (Dusty) Lee Gibson Collection.

LOT DESCRIPTION 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.15-r.1, W-3605. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left, B (LIB) over Cinquefoil. VF-35 (PCGS). 135.9 grains. Mottled mahogany and steel brown surfaces are evenly granular throughout. No serious planchet anomalies beyond some light roughness at the centers where the strike is softest. A few light scratches are noted on both sides under magnification, but mostly at the reverse center. Well centered with good sharpness. From the Twin Leaf Collection Provenance: From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Tom Reynolds, 2001.
1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1-E, W-2300. Rarity-4. Mailed Bust Right. EF-40 (PCGS). 102.8 grains. Struck about 10% off-center on a notably thin planchet, which at 102.8 grains is distinctly below the 113 grain low end of the weight range recorded by Randy Clark for this variety. Surfaces are a mottling of light and dark brown tones, due as much to the minor inherent flaws in the planchet as to the effects of the environment on the coin’s surfaces over the last 234 years. An ax-shaped natural planchet depression from I of INDE to seated figure’s right knee will prove useful for matching this to a previous auction appearance, if any, though Robert was unable to do so in his lifetime. The 1-E die combination is intriguing in its similarity to the reworking of dies in the Massachusetts silver series; obverse 1 is thought to be a reworking of obverse 6.3 of 1785, while the reverse is believed to be reverse G.2 reworked into G.1 reworked into E! From the Robert M. Martin Collection Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Purchased from Peter Boisvert on eBay, February 4, 2010.

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 32.2-X.1, W-3220. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS). 132.7 grains. Uniform dark steel and chocolate surfaces appear glossy and smooth, though they are microporous upon close inspection. No handling marks worth of mention though there are some natural planchet imperfections on both sides. On the obverse, there is a small area of roughness behind the shoulder and a few small voids on the effigy. On the reverse, small imperfections are noted through Liberty’s torso and to the right thereof. A larger void near the rim, right of the date is also noted. A bit off center on both sides with CONNEC against the rim, though there are no losses to letters on either side. Pleasing for the grade. From the Twin Leaf Collection Provenance: From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Frederick B. Taylor, Bowers and Merena, March 1987:2479; Tom Rinaldo and Stephen Tanenbaum at the 2000 EAC Convention.

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.31-gg.2, W-3825. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left, ETLIR. VG-8 (PCGS). 134.5 grains. Glossy deep brown with some gentle steel outlines to the devices and through the legends. The surfaces are rough and there are a few small planchet fissures noted, but the appearance is still quite good for the grade. Fairly well centered with the legends clear and the date about 40% off the flan. From the historic First Annual C4 Sale.

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 37.3-i, W-4110. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS). 125.0 grains. Attractive and uniform light brown surfaces with inviting glossiness and excellent overall eye appeal. Fairly evenly struck and nicely centered with the legends comfortably away from the rims and the date as complete as the dies allowed. A scattering of tiny planchet imperfections are noted on the obverse while some larger natural flaws are seen on the reverse, positioned such that they really don’t stand out much. A retained lamination over LIB is mentioned for accuracy. A most satisfying example of the variety.
