- 1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-F.4, W-2355. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Right, African Head. Fine-15. 129.5 grains. This is an aesthetically pleasing Connecticut copper for the grade with even orange-brown patina on generally smooth, tight surfaces. Minor pitting is largely confined to the peripheries, and there are faint pin scratches in the left and right reverse fields. The right peripheries on both sides are largely smooth with little to no detail evident, date faint with only portions of the digits 85 discernible. The central devices are well outlined, however, and the words AUCTORI and INDE are bold. A few swirls of minor surface scale on the bust are hardly worth mentioning. One of the major design types in the Connecticut copper series, here represented by an attractive collectable example. PCGS# 316. Provenance: Paper envelope with attribution noted included.
