1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.10-L, W-2650. Rarity-6-. Mailed Bust Left. Good-6, Rough.110.26 grains. A rare variety that we have offered on only four occasions over the previous decade. The obverse retains considerable definition, with all design elements clearly discernible and smooth across the high points. The reverse shows slightly less detail to the central devices, though the surrounding legend is legible and the head and left arm of the seated figure are distinct. A faint granularity is apparent in the fields under inspection, while natural planchet striations pass through the upper obverse and corresponding lower reverse. A few insignificant pinscratches are noted across each side, though these have long worn into the patina.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
