1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 37.4-k.1, W-4115. Rarity-3. Draped Bust Left. VF-30 (PCGS).152.7 grains. Light golden brown and perfectly pleasant, the high points worn to a dusky brown on both sides. Well struck and wholly problem free, the obverse displaying a closely overlapping double striking, undoubtedly from die bounce, as the reverse is wholly absent any doubling. Considered condition census by Robert, and it very well may be the best of the VFs that are out there, as it is about as nice an example as you might find for the VF-30 grade level; there are a few finer pieces out there, such as the Ford “Choice EF, ” the 1975 EAC AU, and the slightly flawed but very sharp AU Ford duplicate sold in 1994. A gorgeous coin that will be bought by someone who realizes how nice this coin is relative to all other extant examples of 37.4-k.1.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Purchased in August 1981, source not recorded.
