Description du lot

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 9-D, W-2850. Rarity-5+. Mailed Bust Left. VF-20. 139.3 grains. This Connecticut copper is overall softly defined on the obverse due to die failure, typical of the variety. The reverse is appreciably bolder despite being off center to 7 o'clock. The date is absent, and the border is through the seated figure's feet and the letters in INDE. Centering is a bit better on the obverse, although some devices are difficult to discern due to the aforementioned striking quality. Glossy orange-brown surfaces with several thin, shallow flan flaws scattered about on the reverse. PCGS# 349. Provenance: Collector envelope with attribution notation included.
