1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.2-NN.1, W-3005. Rarity-5+ Draped Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).134.6 grains. Pleasing and uniform light olive brown patina on both sides gives this piece nice eye appeal. One very shallow mark right of the nose is the only abrasion worthy of mention on this otherwise very nicely preserved specimen. The obverse shows some light roughness from light natural defects that did not strike out, while one slightly more prominent fissure passes through the effigy’s head. The reverse exhibits one notable natural void near the center, but otherwise the natural imperfections are minor. Fairly well centered with the reverse rotation just over 90 degrees from the normal position. All legends and the date are clear and sharp. A rather nice example of this variety.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova, 2001.
