1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4-L, W-2810. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Left, Horned Bust. VF-30 (PCGS).116.3 grains. Glossy hard surfaces with just a trace of microporosity and a couple of small hard verdigris spots on the right reverse. Tightly spaced on the flan but well-centered on the obverse. Most of the letters are touching the edge, but nothing is lost to it. The reverse is a bit low, with perhaps a third of the date compromised, but plenty is visible. Evenly struck with very nice eye appeal. A popular Guide Book type coin with the horn break nicely developed and fully attached to the shoulder.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Steven Ellsworth (personal collection), 2001.
