1785 CT 1/2P Bust Right, BN MS (PCGS#316)

October 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.4-C, W-2375. Rarity-3. Bust Right. MS-61 BN (NGC). An incredible survivor, retaining a good amount of frosty luster and traces of actual mint red - qualities one never expects to find on a 1785 Connecticut Copper. Indeed, there have been only six mint state grades awarded across all varieties of the date at NGC and none at PCGS. Some natural planchet flaws are seen on each side - something not at all atypical for Connecticut coppers generally and this variety in particular. There are no contact marks, environmental damage, or post-strike problems of any kind, attesting to this coin’s truly uncirculated character. Certainly a condition census example of the die variety as well as a superlative date or type coin. PCGS# 316. NGC ID: 2B2A. Click here for certification details from NGC.
