- 1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.5-M, W-2595. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left. AU-55 (PCGS). An exceptionally attractive example of this otherwise relatively obtainable die marriage. Both sides are smooth and inviting with considerable gloss to blended medium brown, reddish-copper and flint gray patina. The strike is trivially off center to 9 o'clock on the obverse, 11 o'clock on the reverse, but only the border denticulation is affected. Most design elements are sharply defined in fact, the only mentionable lack of detail confined to the centers on both sides, as well as the upper left reverse periphery where the ornament is faint. Minor roughness in the centers is as made, and it is so insignificant as to be easily overlooked except under the closest scrutiny. Superior quality and eye appeal for a Connecticut copper of any variety, and equally well suited for inclusion in a high grade type or date set. PCGS# 331. NGC ID: 2B2G.
