1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.1-G, W-2525. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left. Fine-12 Rough.，130.0 grains. Deep brown surfaces support lighter patination to the devices. Strike trivially off center to 2 oclock on the obverse, 4 oclock on the reverse, affecting the tops of the peripheral letters along the right borders on both sides. The final digit in the date is difficult to discern, but the 178 are clear. Otherwise we note uniformly bold detail in the context of the assigned grade. Surface texture is a bit rough overall with scattered pitting and, on the reverse, a few swirls of ancient verdigris.<p>Note: If copper coins of the 1785 to 1788 era issued by various states are of interest, a good way to start is to look at the appropriate pages of the <em>Guide Book</em> and set about buying one each of the various types in price levels to suit your budget.，PCGS# 331.，，From the Sixteenth Annual C-4 Convention Sale, November 2010, lot 144. Lot tag and collector envelopes with attribution notes included.
