Lot Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.3-W.1, W-3400. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left. VF-30 BN (NGC). This is a richly original piece toned in a blend of charcoal-copper and, more extensively, reddish-brown. The reverse, which NGC has mounted up in the holder for a reason that we cannot discern, is nicely centered on the planchet with all devices boldly outlined. The obverse is drawn trivially toward 9 o'clock, but all devices on that side are also boldly outlined and fully appreciable. Smooth in hand with considerable gloss, traces of light surface scale are mentioned solely for accuracy. Few minor flan flaws on the obverse, more extensive one on the reverse at the final digit 7 in the date. All in all, a handsome and inviting Choice VF that is sure to please. Late Die State. PCGS# 370. Click here for certification details from NGC.
