1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5-B.2, W-4440. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust Facing Right. VF-30.107.3 grains. Glossy light olive and medium brown surfaces, an appealing and well-detailed example of the variety with clear undertype from a 1785 Crosby 5-E Nova Constellatio copper that served as the planchet. There are a few minor marks including a dig past AUCTORI and a couple light scratches on each side, none too disturbing and the overall appearance is of a pleasing, problem-free coin. Struck slightly off-center to nine o’clock and a bit of the legends are lost as a result. Small curved planchet clip at ten to eleven o’clock.
