1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-A.1, W-2390. Rarity-5+. Mailed Bust Right. VF-20 (PCGS).122.0 grains. Light steel brown with a glossy appearance on the obverse. The entire piece is finely porous and the reverse shows this a bit more than the obverse. Fairly well centered and though the obverse is just a trifle high, this does not affect the details. The portrait is soft but delineated, while the obverse legends are quite sharp. The reverse is much softer overall, though all major elements are visible. This is similar to the Ted Craige coin, lot 11113 of our January 2013 sale, though this one has superior color and eye appeal.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Sixth Annual C4 Convention sale, November 2000:117.
