1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.11-R, W-2660. Rarity-6+. Mailed Bust Left. Fine-15 (PCGS).152.32 grains. Glossy chocolate brown surfaces with faint traces of deep tan and mahogany. Quite smooth upon first glance, though a bit of shallow planchet roughness is seen on the obverse. The reverse is smoother, with just a few small flaws scattered about, the most notable being just left of Liberty’s face. A bit off center on both sides with the edges just into the legends in places, but not to any extreme degree. The trade-off is a nice full date. A small planchet clip is noted over the first N of CONNEC, which is narrow enough to not even pass beyond the depth of the dentils. Very similar to Taylor:2381From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova at the 2002 EAC Convention.
