1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 12-Q, W-2885. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left, 1787 over 1877—Double Struck—VF-30 (PCGS).108.8 grains. A fantastic double strike in which glorious amounts of both sets of impression survive. The first strike was about 10% off-center, the second strike overlapping and coming in about 20% off-center but in a different direction from the first. Dark emerald brown surfaces are worn to a lighter tan at the high points, there being a few, now stable eruptions of reddish-green corrosion around the 9 o’clock positions of both obverse and reverse. Another of the fantastic error coins that Robert gathered up over his decades of dedicated hunting.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Purchased from Mike Ringo, date not recorded.
