1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1.2-C, W-2720. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Right, Muttonhead. EF-40 (PCGS).An exceptionally attractive example of this distinct and popular variety in the Connecticut copper series. Evenly patinated rose-brown surfaces are lightly struck around the peripheries, yet suitably bold in the centers. Shallow curved planchet clip at 9 oclock, a shallow flan flaw just past 3 oclock at the reverse border is also as made. The surfaces are smooth apart from a pair of light obverse scuffs on the cheek that form an X shape. Dickeson (1859) described this obverse portrait as the Bulls Head, a name no longer widely in use. The reverse is also distinct due to the topless seated figure.
