1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 3.2-L, W-2330. Rarity-4+. Mailed Bust Right. VF-20 (PCGS).121.2 grains. Glossy olive brown with a few minor planchet imperfections but no noticeable damage of any kind. A trace of brick oxidation is noted in the deep recess of one of the planchet fissures, but otherwise the surfaces are free of such conditions. The date is a bit soft and the final 7 is lost to the mentioned fissure, but the legends are fairly clear and the strike is just trivially off. A late die state gives quite a bit of character to the piece.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Eighth Annual C4 Convention sale, November 2002:228.
