1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4.3-D, W-2370. Rarity-6-. Mailed Bust Right. Fine-15 (PCGS).143.0 grains. Smooth olive brown with a faint suggestion of mahogany patina in the fields at a certain angle to the light. Traces of very light verdigris, but generally glossy. Small natural fissures and tiny voids on both sides, as typical of the variety, but only a pair through the portrait are easily seen. Strong legends, though the date is a bit weak and the obverse is a bit misaligned toward 12:00. Nice color and eye appeal for the grade and free of any serious problems, though some faint old scratches are noted on the reverse.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Eighth Annual C4 Convention sale, November 2002:75.
