1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.41-Z.11, W-3975. Rarity-7-. Draped Bust Left. Very Fine-20, damaged.,138.9 grains. Dark brown and ever so slightly granular surfaces are light brown at the worn high points. Heavy old marks have created dull furrows on both sides, disfiguring and flattening the central motifs. What remains of the designs is indicative of strong sharpness, and the legends are date and fortuitously complete and intact on both sides; the obverse die crack from top of head to rim at 12 oclock and the die crack from T to rim are clearly visible and provide for definitive attribution of this very rare die marriage, of which this is the 10th recorded example according to information provided by Connecticut researcher Randy Clark. We have had the good fortune of offering a good number of these over the years, notably Taylor:2608, Perkins:433, Ford:427 (Very Fine at $8625), Collection SLT:7344 (Fine-12 at $8,050) and most recently the damaged Fine-15 Anderson-Gleckler specimen, lot 5317 in last years C4 Sale at $4,465. Here is another opportunity for advanced Connecticut collectors striving to add additional very rare die combinations to their sets.
