- 1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.3-N, W-2575. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left, Hercules Head. Fine-12 (PCGS).
107.9 grains. Problem free circulation wear defines this two-tone example, a combination of light golden brown and deeper chestnut. Obverse centered toward 6 o’clock, bringing the bust in contact with the rim, while the reverse is quite ideally centered for the die marriage, with the date fully on flan and the legends just a bit tight to the rims. The reverse die is in an earlier sunken state than seen on the coin in the preceding lot, with just a hint of the initial round of die clashing visible on the reverse and chiefly on the obverse. One of Robert’s earlyish Connecticut copper purchases that was never sold due to its superb color, surfaces and overall eye appeal.
Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Purchased from Norman Pullen, August 24, 1976.
PCGS #334 and #686531.
