- 1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.3-A.2, W-2365. Rarity-3. Bust Right. AU-50 BN (NGC).
A very attractive example with uniform light chocolate brown surfaces and pleasantly glossy texture. A couple of small natural fissures are fairly well hidden within the portrait and at the mail on the obverse, while a couple of others are slightly more obvious at the central reverse. The reverse is centered ever so slightly high and to the right, but there is really no loss of detail beyond the very tip of the cap, atop the pole. The obverse is nearly perfectly centered. Finer than Taylor:2312 and Collection SLT:7077. Apparently comparable to the Perkins coin in overall quality, though, while this one seems weaker, it also appears to be an even later die state which is likely a contributing factor. Far nicer than the recently sold Twin Leaf coin. Comparable to the Eric Newman specimen in quality, but again, weaker and a considerably later die state. A very nice example overall. A recent discovery, found in an old collection.
Provenance: From our ANA Auction of August 2019, lot 489.
PCGS# 316. NGC ID: 2B2A.
