Lot Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Mailed Bust Facing Left. W-2810, Miller 4-L. URS-12. Horned Bust. AU-58 (PCGS). Due to the ease with which examples can be attributed, as well as the dramatic nature of the diagnostic obverse die break (as made), Miller 4-L is one of the most popular varieties in the rich Connecticut Copper series. This minimally worn survivor is generally sharp in detail with warm reddish-gray patination. There are no detracting blemishes to limit the coin's appeal.
