- Very Choice Miller 33.6-KK With Mint Luster 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.6-KK, W-3425. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left, Triple Ribbon Ends. AU-58 (PCGS). Somewhat pale brown with considerable luster remaining in the fields, especially those of the reverse which are better protected. Mild darker surface deposits are noted behind the effigy's head and in some of the letters of the legend. Very well centered on a flan that was a bit too compact, so while the obverse peripheral details are all free from the border and most of the reverse is evenly spaced away from it too, the bottoms of the date digits are lost. Evenly and nicely struck with just a trace of central weakness that has left a bit of natural planchet texture. A couple of very minor natural flan flaws are also noted but are not distracting on this otherwise very pleasing piece. Not as high grade as the Newman or Partrick coins, but considerably nicer than any seen in our online database or in the other Heritage records, and likely a Condition Census piece. These dies are not known to have been used in any other pairings. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of August 2007, lot 20.
