1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4-L, W-2810. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4-L, W-2810. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Left, Horned Bust. AU-55 (PCGS). 140.0 grains. Lovely medium golden and olive-brown in color with traces of faded mint frost in the protected areas on both sides. Surfaces only light granular, essentially as made, the reverse particularly bright and sharp in appearance. Accuracy, however, does compel us to mention a crescent of hard verdigris build up along the lower right reverse border that appears to post-date this coin's offering in our (Stack's) October 2005 Ford IX sale. Both sides well centered, obverse nicely illustrating the medium state of the die with the horn break fully formed in the lower left field, but not yet attached to the effigy's chest. For overall detail, quality and eye appeal this is certainly "one of the best seen" for the variety, as described by the Ford cataloger. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks') sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part IX, May 2005, lot 287. PCGS# 364. NGC ID: 2B2T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
