1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.9-s.2, W-3490. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left—Double Struck—VF-25 (PCGS).144.4 grains. Another fascinating and unusual double strike, distinctive for having both strikes off-center, leaving an unstruck area of blank planchet to the right of the two strikes. The first impression was off-center perhaps 20% to 6:30, while the second strike was rotated slightly counterclockwise and impressed about 25% off-center to 11:00. The interplay of the designs is intricate and interesting on both sides. No major problems are seen on the smooth and glossy light brown surfaces. A choice piece and an uncommonly odd error.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from the Hall and Brand Collections, to B.G. Johnson in May 1935.
