1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.8-Z.13, W-3470. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. Fine-12 (PCGS). 121.6 grains. A second example of this variety. Mostly light golden brown with deeper steel in the fields and recesses. Lightly porous but aesthetically pleasing. The late die state bulge left of the effigy is pronounced, while the reverse is misaligned toward 2:00, with loss of some of Liberty’s head, pole hand, and the beginning of the rightmost legend.
