1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 19-g.4, W-3050. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left. EF-45+ (PCGS).A particularly appealing circulated example of both the type and variety that is sure to catch the eye of discerning collectors. Both sides are beautifully toned in copper brown, the upper reverse periphery retaining glints of original, albeit faded rose-red color. The strike is trivially off center to the lower left obverse and upper left reverse, although only the denticulation is incomplete with all major design elements boldly to sharply defined for the grade. The centers retain traces of roughness from the original planchet texture, and there is a minor flan flaw at the upper left reverse border, although otherwise we note a smooth and inviting appearance. This is only a moderately scarce die marriage in an absolute sense, but the quality and eye appeal offered here is quite unusual and worthy of the strongest bids.Collector envelope included.
