Lot Description

1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 11-G, W-4510. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left. AU-58 (PCGS). A fantastic Connecticut Copper and one of the very best examples seen of the die variety. Glossy, mark-free, reddish medium brown surfaces that show subtle traces of frosty luster. Sharply struck from a fairly early state of the dies, slightly off center as usual but only a tiny portion of the date and legends were affected. The planchet is of extremely high quality, totally devoid of even microscopic flaws leaving nothing to disrupt the boldly executed design elements. An exceptionally handsome piece that's sure to please even the pickiest State Copper connoisseur. Provenance: Our October 2018 Baltimore Auction, lot 6167. PCGS# 403. NGC ID: 2B3B.
