- 1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.4-I, W-2420. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Right. VF-35 (PCGS). 134.6 grains. A very nice Connecticut copper, with light brown devices contrasting perfectly with darker brown fields. Glossy and mostly smooth, problem free, and well centered with full legends and a complete date. The obverse shows heavier denticles at the right, while the reverse shows them at the left. Maybe not a rare variety, but an unusual proportion of these are ugly. The best is clearly the Uncirculated Ford-Patrick coin that hammered at a then-alarming $19,000 in 2005. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS #316 and 686816.
