1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 32.2-X.2, W-3225. Rarity-5-. Draped Bust Left. EF-45 (PCGS).127.7 grains. Rich chocolate brown with ruddy overtones, the high points gently worn to an olive-brown hue. Though softly struck up and down the middle, the luster in the fields is more indicative of an AU coin than an EF one, though the PCGS grade is in complete agreement with the grade assigned in this coin’s last appearance in the Frontenac Sale. Well centered and attractive, at once a beautiful type coin and a high quality survivor of a very scarce die marriage.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex Bowers and Merena’s Frontenac Sale of November 20-22, 1991, lot 341.
