1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.25-Z.10, W-3730. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left. AU-50 (PCGS).138.9 grains. A sharp and pleasing example with choice medium brown color and surfaces that offer excellent originality and eye appeal. End-of-strip straight planchet clip at 3 oclock and a few planchet flaws elsewhere, the heaviest one on the reverse seated figure. High quality surfaces overall that retain traces of their frosty original mint texture. The NGC MS-61 BN Hessberg-Partrick example is probably the only clearly superior coin. This piece is otherwise right up there among the best examples seen and a excellent piece for an advanced die variety set.PCGS# 686380.
