1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 39.2-ee, W-4220. Rarity-5-. Draped Bust Left, AUCTOBI / ETLIR. VF-30 (PCGS).147.4 grains. Uniform medium brown on both sides with lightly granular surfaces evident upon close inspection. Light planchet flaws on both sides, the most notable of which is on the edge, impacting both the obverse and reverse with a small void. Centered slightly left on the obverse, crowding the legend a bit, but not compromising it. The rotated reverse is well centered with the legend and date complete. Another desirable variety featuring the AUCTOBI engravers error, and this has the bonus feature of Dr. Thomas Halls PDV neatly applied to the edge in white. A desirable piece with a very historic Connecticut provenance.PCGS# 687283. NGC ID: 2B32.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
