- 1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.1-D, W-4595. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left. EF-45+ (PCGS).
120.5 grains. A Clark Reverse Plate Coin. A fascinating coin from the die state perspective, the obverse field wavy and cracked from R of AUCTORI to nose, which looks sunken and polished nearly fully away on the die; the reverse is in its latest state, a blob of a die break covering most of E of ET, a crack and small break at Liberty’s chin and neck, a crack from rim through second I, a crack from rim through B to shield, globe and finally connecting up with the large cud that consumes Liberty’s feet, ankles, and lower left leg. Glossy dark brown, smoothly worn and attractive, a pleasing type with a superb provenance to both Crosby and Garrett!
Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex Sylvester Sage Crosby Collection; Bowers & Ruddy 'Sale of the Garrett Collection, Part 3, October 1-2, 1980, lot 1379; David Sonderman Fixed Price List of 1981, lot 56.
PCGS #409 and #687234.
