1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.7-H.1, W-2610. Rarity-6-. Mailed Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS).121.6 grains. A second example of this scarce variety, and while not nearly as choice as the piece above, it is quite respectable for its sharpness and eye appeal. The surfaces are mottled light steel brown with some areas of tan and a few circular hairlines left as evidence of a light old cleaning. The coin has mostly toned back, it is glossy and not at all unattractive. Rough planchet texture at the centers is more extreme on the reverse but consistent and not terribly distracting. Small fissures on both sides are similarly unobtrusive. The centering is just slightly off, with some rims tight but no serious loss of detail beyond the tops of DE in INDE. The date is softly defined but clear. Almost as nice as the Taylor coin, but weaker at the centers. Comfortably superior to the Newman specimen.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova, 2002.
