1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 34-ff.1, W-4060. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left, ETLIR. EF-45 (PCGS).;131.1 grains. Warm golden-brown patina blankets both sides of this overall sharply defined example. Struck from misaligned dies, however, the upper left obverse and lower left reverse peripheries are largely devoid of detail with original planchet texture still in evidence. The impression is nicely centered on both sides, nonetheless, and the surfaces are otherwise smooth apart from a few trivial planchet pits that are mostly confined to the lower part of the effigys bust on the obverse and along the upper reverse border. A popular <em>Guide Book</em> variety in highly desirable Choice EF preservation.;From the Dr. Gordon Shaw Collection. From Kagins Long Beach Sale of February 1987, lot 4211. Lot tag and collector envelope with provenance notation included.
