1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.13-Z.6, W-3555. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. VF-25 (PCGS).122.7 grains. Pale mahogany brown on the reliefs which are nicely accentuated by the darkly patinated olive brown fields, creating an inviting contrast. Light surface granularity is seen, and is a bit more aggressive in the recesses, but not distracting. Nicely centered on the obverse with good balance in the detail. The reverse exhibits a large natural flan void in the lower left quadrant that has severed Libertys foot. Centered slightly high on this side, but only the hair bun and tip of the pole are affected. Henry C. Millers own coin, a great provenance for any Connecticut.PCGS# 685186. NGC ID: 2B2X.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
