Losbeschreibung: 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.7-r.4, W-3450. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left. VF-20 (PCGS). 139.1 grains. Light olive brown with microflecks of charcoal over much of the obverse. Ever so slightly granular, yet glossy and aesthetically pleasing. Struck from late state dies with weakness and mild distortion evident around the peripheries and left of the effigy’s face. Centered a little high relative to the obverse, but the date is the only victim of this shift, with only the upper portions of the digits softly discernible. Provenance: From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex McCawley and Grellman's First Annual C4 Convention sale, October 1995:166; George C. Perkins, Stack’s, January 2000:357; Tom Rinaldo; Eighth Annual C4 Convention sale, November 2002:298. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
