1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 3.1-A.3, W-2315. Rarity-4. Mailed Bust Right. EF-45 (PCGS).138.4 grains. A very attractive piece with mostly uniform chestnut brown surfaces. Gentle deep tan mottling is noted on the obverse while traces of deeper reddish patina are seen in the reverse fields. Rather well centered and decently struck with good details for the issue, particularly at the centers. There is a trace of peripheral weakness on both sides, but all elements are clear and the impression is far better in this respect than the Anderson-Gleckler coin that sold in our November 2016 auction. A few small planchet voids and shallow fissures are noted on each side, one of them gently affecting the rim over EC. Generally glossy and attractive. Very similar to the Collection SLT coin (lot 7064) -- formerly the Norweb specimen -- but this example is slightly the finer of the two.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Mike Ringo, January 1984; George C. Perkins, Stack’s, January 2000:187.
