- High Grade 1788 CT Mailed Bust Right Copper
1788 Connecticut copper. Miller 2-D, W-4405. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Right. MS-62 BN (PCGS).
123.9 grains. Lustrous chocolate brown with exemplary eye appeal and mostly hard, smooth surfaces. Some light surface verdigris is present on the left side of the reverse and in smaller specks elsewhere, but the rest of the surfaces glow with frost. The centering is ideal, and the design elements are sharp everywhere but the absolute centers. Two cracks at the shoulder presage a later cud that joins the cuirass to the lower left obverse rim. A high grade and very attractive example of this Machin’s Mills product, one that earns a spot in the variety’s Condition Census.
Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the Laird Park Collection, May 1976, lot 85.
PCGS Population: 2, none finer.
PCGS# 397
