- 1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.1-D, W-4595. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left. AU-50 (PCGS).
135.3 grains. The finest of four different examples of this die pairing in Robert’s collection, each collected for a different reason. This one is essentially Mint State with dashes of original mint color in and around the most protected areas of the devices, a hint of rub and some rather obvious planchet flaws on obverse keeping this coin from a much higher grade. Very sharply struck, centering is good with no losses to any of the designs or legends. Reverse die badly cracked and broken as usually seen. Collected by Robert for its bold visual appeal, this coin is one of just three coins from the Roper Collection in his own collection.
Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex Stack’s Sale of the John L. Roper Collection, December8-9, 1983, lot 263.
PCGS #409 and #687237.
