1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.43-q, W-4005. Rarity-5+. Draped Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).123.6 grains. Light chocolate brown with ruddy highlights and glossy surfaces, this coin displays positive visual appeal and some softness at lower obverse and upper reverse, perhaps the result of insufficient metal in that area to completely form the designs. The obverse is in its clashed state, with the outlines of the reverse design clearly visible in the fields. A finer looking example at this grade level would be hard to locate, case in point Ford’s ex Miller example that was a cleaned and lacquered Fine.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex W. Philip Keller Collection, Heritage, October 28, 2010, lot 3215, acquired by Keller from New Netherlands, August 9, 1954 from its Numisma Fixed Priced List, Volume 1, Number 3.
