Lot Description

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 42-kk.2, W-4245. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left, AUCTOPI, ET IIB. VF-25 (PCGS). 138.90 grains. Rich caramel hues emphasize the high points across this lovely example, contrasted by darker licorice patina in the protected areas. The surfaces remain well-composed under magnification and appear slightly glossy in-hand. The obverse die is slightly drawn towards 9 o'clock, leaving the last half of AUCTOPI tight to the edge. The reverse is ideally centered, showing just a minor softness at INDE and the date. Seldom offered this fine and without problems. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 376. NGC ID: 2B2Z. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
