Here is an absolutely spectacular Connecticut copper. The golden brown surfaces are devoid of marks save for some natural planchet ticks at the centers that were not flattened by the striking process. The centering is spot-on on both sides and traces of mint orange engage the devices in their protected areas. This exceptional coin easily rivals the Choice Uncirculated Ford piece (May 2005, lot 424) which was microgranular, unlike the present beauty that is disturbance-free and just plain lovely. The Ford piece was called "A remarkable specimen, the finest seen by the cataloger." We can only surmise that the Ford cataloger was unfamiliar with this specimen. Undeniably a Condition Census example of the variety, and perhaps the finest known! Bidding for this lot will hit the stratosphere quickly, so be prepared to jump in on the bidding or be left behind in the proverbial dust. ,,PCGS# 370. NGC ID: 2B2P.,,Ex Heritages sale of the Eric P. Newman Collection, Party IV, May 2014, lot 30116.
