Description du lot: 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 40-N, W-4240. Rarity-6. Draped Bust Left, AUCTOPI. VG-10 (PCGS). 137.7 grains. Gently mottled steel brown over both sides. Uniformly microporous with one small spot of verdigris against the effigy’s head. Struck a bit unevenly with the drapery and obverse legends relatively sharp, including AUCTOPI which is very clear. The remainder of the head is without interior definition and the reverse is fairly blunt at the center. INDE and IB are sharp, however. A couple of small fissures are noted on this side as well. Generally pleasant for the grade with no serious problems. Provenance: From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Robert Vlack; Stack’s, January 2009:7387.
