1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.35-Z.9, W-3870. Rarity-7. Draped Bust Left. VF-20 (PCGS).131.5 grains. One of the better examples out there of this significant rarity, probably third finest known after the Hall-Brand-Hessberg-SLT-Twin Leaf coin and the ANS example, ex Barnsley. This piece edges out the rougher NGC EF details 1975 EAC Sale-Taylor-Partrick example in our opinion. Predominantly golden-brown in color with deeper olive and maroon in the fields. Surfaces lightly porous and showing some natural planchet roughness, but there are no significant marks or planchet flaws. Nicely centered strike from what is probably the earliest die state observed among the seven known, with heavy cracks through AUCTORI but little sign of the internal die break that later consumes OR. This is the first appearance at auction of this specimen. We handled the arguably finest known PCGS EF-40 example mentioned above in the SLT sale in 2012 where it brought $20,700, and again in the Twin Leaf sale of 2019 where it realized $21,600. This represents the next best piece available and an opportunity that should not be missed.PCGS# 686338. NGC ID: 2B2X.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
