1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.2-Z.5, W-3340. Rarity-1. Draped Bust Left—Struck 5% Off-Center. AU-55 (PCGS).,Very conservatively graded by PCGS, this coin is actually Mint State, the lack of detail in the central obverse and reverse motifs is due more to poor strike than to circulation wear. Surfaces abound in the original mint gloss that is the mark of high grade colonial coppers, the coloration a rich olive-brown with slightly darker tones in the fields, and even a hint of original mint color remaining in the most protected areas of the legends. Struck about 5% off-center on both sides, the obverse towards 11 oclock, the reverse towards 7 oclock, effectively cutting off the entire date. At least one other off-center strike is known for the die variety, a well worn coin from the "Old New England Collection" sold by Heritage in November 2014. Painted Die Variety in black ink (possibly oxidized white ink) in left obverse field, 33.2 over Z.5, though now weak due to degradation of the ink or perhaps through an attempted removal in the mistaken notion that the PDV would degrade, rather than improve the value of this gorgeous 1787 Connecticut Copper. About 10 similar black ink Painted Die Variety Connecticut Coppers appeared in our January 2013 auction of the Ted L. Craige Collection, and the inking seems to be by the same hand, inasmuch as the 3s share the same distinct style with an angular, straight top 3 (see Craige lot 11195 for example). Undoubtedly more of these black ink pieces would have been in Craiges primary collection, and in fact more appear in the 1975 Pine Tree EAC Sale, which included many of Craiges front line coins. In lot 110 of that sale, Walter Breen provides a tantalizing clue: "Ex T.L. Craige, who was only beginning (as he told me shortly before his death) to add the attribution to his Connecticuts in the manner of Dr. Hall and Henry Clay Miller." This may be Craiges PDV, or it may be that of an earlier generation of collectors, it is at this juncture unclear. What is clear is that this is lovely, high grade specimen that is undoubtedly in the Condition Census for the die marriage.,PCGS# 370. NGC ID: 2B2P.,,
