Lot Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 32.5-aa, W-3260. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left, INDE over FUDE. Fine-15 (PCGS). 114.3 grains. Chocolate brown with deeper patina in the recesses. Lightly porous in places but fairly smooth on the devices. A couple of small planchet flaws are noted but there are no serious marks and the eye appeal is satisfying for the grade. Nicely centered on the obverse and a little high on the reverse, the latter allowing for a nice full date. Provenance: From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Eighth Annual C4 Convention sale, November, 2002:129. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
