1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 11.2-K, W-2875. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).141.0 grains. A lovely specimen with excellent surfaces that are hard and glossy with even, deep olive brown patina. Quite smooth save for a bit of natural planchet roughness at the centers where the strike is a bit softer. Nicely centered overall. The obverse is just a tad high, but the reverse is essentially perfect. Strong legends and nearly complete dentils, save for right over the effigy’s head. No flaws worthy of mention, natural or otherwise, and a strong date. A really choice piece. A little weaker than Ford:300, but seemingly more attractive overall.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova, 2001.
