1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 7-F.2, W-4485. Rarity-6. Mailed Bust Left. Fine-15 (PCGS).112.6 grains. Medium to light brown with some ruddy mottling and a few scattered verdigris deposits on each side. Centered a little high on the obverse, much better on the reverse, though the flan seems a little tight and most of the reverse legend is still at least against the rim. In contrast, the date is full and sharp. A little weak at the lower obverse as usually seen on this variety. Struck with a medal turn orientation of the dies. The reverse has a prominent die crack from Liberty’s head, arcing down into the right field.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova at the 2002 EAC Convention.
