1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.6-KK, W-3425. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left, Triple Ribbon Ends. VF-30 (PCGS).147.9 grains. Most of us update our inventories, envelopes or slab labels when an attribution is updated; whoever owned this coin in the first quarter of the 20th century updated the Painted Die Variety attribution from the 1892 Hall attribution in the left field to the 1920 Miller attribution in the right field! What is puzzling is that the original Hall attribution was rendered as 33.10-HH, which was not a die combination listed by Hall, though the correct “KK” reverse was painted below and to the right of the HH. Surfaces are glossy olive brown and display trouble-free circulation wear.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Purchased from Harmer, Rooke Numismatics in April 1981.
