Lot Description

1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 7-E, W-4480. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust Left. AU-53 (PCGS). 136.1 grains. Light steel-brown and tan with some splashes of maroon toning, those areas just slightly granular in texture but the coin as a whole appears smooth and pleasing. Well struck for the variety and on a better than average planchet. Probably just outside the Condition Census conversation yet still a noteworthy and overall excellent example of the variety. On par with the Twin Leaf example that realized $1,500. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from a Tom's Coins Auction (Lynchburg, VA), June 2000.
