1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.23-hh.2, W-3715. Rarity-6. Draped Bust Left, ETLIR. EF-45 (PCGS).145.2 grains. Glossy light olive-brown surfaces show only minimal natural planchet roughness and no notable corrosion or marks. Nicely centered and well struck for the variety with all major detail clear despite the well worn state of the reverse die. Almost certainly a Condition Census example of the die variety. Slightly sharper and with better color for instance than the Ford coin that brought $1,080 in our 2019 Twin Leaf sale as PCGS EF-40.PCGS# 686378.
