1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 3.4-F.2, W-2345. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Right, ETLIR. EF-40 (PCGS).147.0 grains. Glossy light steel brown with a bit of slightly deeper patina nicely outlining the design features on both sides. No planchet imperfections are noted, though a few tiny pinprick marks are seen in the right reverse field. Series of ancient scratches are visible before the face and beneath the truncation, both requiring magnification to see. Struck slightly to the lower left relative to the obverse, the reverse in correspondence, and virtually identical in this respect to the Miller plate coin. No design features are affected other than the rim which is compromised in this area. Evenly struck with crisp legends and nice overall eye appeal. Better central detail and appearance than the Q. David Bowers specimen in our March 2018 sale, and without the fissures of the Collection SLT coin, though that one was sharper.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Richard Picker Collection; Anthony Terranova, 2001.
