1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.3-N, W-2575. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left, Hercules Head. Fine-12, Damage.143.64 grains. A pleasing example of this Herculean variety that will surely pique the interest of specialists. The eponymous head on the obverse is boldly defined and only minimally worn. A collection of small serrations across the cheek is well worn into the surrounding surfaces, as are a few pinscratches in the left and right fields. The complexion is overall smooth and highly glossy, especially on the reverse. The reverse die exhibits extensive fatigue, with the usual swelling now obliterating much of the peripheral devices. The head and torso of the seated figure remain largely discernible, as is portions of INDE at the left border and ET to the right. A sharp representative of this popular die pair.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
