Lot Description

1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-F.4, W-2355. URS-12. African Head. EF-40 BN (NGC). Blended tan and chocolate brown surfaces with midnight blue highlights. A tiny void is noted in the rim above the seated figure's head and some minor granularity is&nbsp;present in the fields. The distinctive head shows boldly. The legends are mostly readable, though the date is weak and faded. A very nice example of this popular type in a grade that would be difficult to exceed.<br /> &nbsp;
