1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.9-s.2, W-3490. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left—Double Struck—EF-45 (PCGS).128.1 grains. A picture perfect error coin, with ideal even dark chocolate brown color, smooth surfaces, and bold sharpness in both strikes. Struck once with ideal centering, then again about 15% off-center to 5:30 relative to the obverse. The reverse is somewhat lustrous and displays two clear and complete dates. Exceptionally well detailed and entirely choice, this is a prize among error coins and comes with a very desirable provenance.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stack’s) sale of the Richard Picker Collection, October 1984, lot 173.
