1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5-F.5, W-2385. Rarity-4. Mailed Bust Right. VF-20 Damaged.，133.8 grains. This otherwise orange-brown example displays mottled charcoal-copper overtones that are associated with light surface scale. Lower reverse border through base of digits 7 and 5 in date, digit 1 largely obscured, the strike otherwise well centered with the remaining devices boldly outlined and fully appreciable. Light residue in the left and right obverse fields, reverse flan flaw through the base of the seated figure, moderate scrape immediately above the flaw, other minor scrapes in the upper field on the same side. The amount of remaining detail is greater than for most survivors of this die marriage, confirming the desirability of this piece for Connecticut copper enthusiasts.<p>Many early American coins, indeed a significant percentage, have problems of one sort or another. Most of these coins are very desirable from a numismatic standpoint, however. The best thing to do is to study the image carefully and determine the overall eye appeal and value. Grading numbers are interesting, but are only part of the story.，PCGS# 316.，，Paper envelope with attribution notation included.
