Appealing 1786 Connecticut Copper 1786 Connecticut copper. Miller 5.4-O.1, W-2590. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left. AU-53 (PCGS). 99.0 grains. Glossy deep brown with extremely sharp devices and choice eye appeal. Lightly granular under a glass, but retaining some frost around the devices. Tiny natural fissures at the seated figure’s lower leg and midsection are not distracting, nor are any post-striking problems. A couple specks of verdigris at C of AUCTORI are equally harmless. A very good looking 1786 Connecticut copper and a well above average specimen of this variety. This was the Guide Book plate coin at the time it was acquired. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from David Sonderman, August 1981. PCGS Population: 1; 11 finer. PCGS# 331 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
