- 1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.1-D, W-4595. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left—Double Struck—EF-45(PCGS).
117.3 grains. A perfectly overlapping double strike, the first strike on-center but a bit tight to the rim at 6 o’clock relative to the obverse, the second strike about 50% off-center towards 12 o’clock, with only the 1788 date from the primary strike showing through the secondary strike. Light olive-brown, smoothly worn and with choice surfaces for any Connecticut, much less a major error coin like this. “Spiked chin” on Liberty is reminiscent of that on the 1804 Half Cents, though here caused by a die small die chip at her chin rather than die damage as in the case of the 1804 Half Cents.
Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex H.I.M.’s Sale of the Hoffman Collection, November 19, 1982, lot 179.
PCGS #409 and #687237.
