1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1-E, W-2300. Rarity-4. Mailed Bust Right. VF-20, Granular.135.1 grains. A well-defined and appealing example of the scarce Miller 1-E variety. Smooth and glossy across the high points, with chocolate brown coloration and traces of crimson and greenish patina. The focal elements remain boldly defined on each side, offering a sharpness comparable to the Perkins:183 coin. An old scratch is visible in the field just below CONN of CONNEC, accompanying a circular indentation just above the effigys head. Traces of porosity are visible around the head of the seated figure on the reverse, though the surfaces are otherwise well composed for the type.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
