Lot Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 14-H, W-2895. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left, Arrows (Pheons) at Date. AU-50 (PCGS). 145.0 grains. A beautiful Connecticut copper, retaining tantalizing hints of golden-toned luster in the protected areas at peripheries. Little worn but softly struck, with the central obverse and lower central reverse retaining some planchet texture. Both sides are ideally centered, with full denticles and a complete date. Both arrows are plain, though the bases of the digits are a little soft. Despite its weakness, this is a high grade and high-quality example of this major variety. Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, January 2013, lot 11154. PCGS #349 and #686370. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
