1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 46-BB, W-4305. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS).163.3 grains. Glossy and light golden brown on both sides, struck from misaligned dies, the obverse a bit off-center toward the 12:30 clock position, the reverse perfectly centered. A pleasing example that was well struck and crisply detailed, a condition no doubt helped along by the more than sufficiently heavy planchet, which is about 20 grains “overweight” and at the top end of the range recorded for this die marriage.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex Stack’s sale of Part 9 of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, May10, 2005, lot 465. Previous provenance not recorded.
