1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.2-NN.2, W-3010. Rarity-7. Draped Bust Left. Good, Environmental Damage. 155.4 grains. Ruddy copper-brown surfaces are overall rough and moderately pitted to explain our qualifier. A few faint pin scratches in and around the centers are also noted for accuracy. The legends are essentially complete, no date, well centered with the central design elements partially discernible. Slightly rotated dies. The attribution was confirmed by Robert Martin on November 7, 2013, per a notation on the collector envelope that accompanies this lot. The discovery of this variety was announced in <em>The Colonial Newsletter</em> of October 1978. We have offered only three other examples: the bent Fine from the Scherff Collection in our (Stacks) sale of March 2010 that sold for $21,850, the Vlack discovery specimen, graded VG-7, that netted $9,775 in our (Stacks) January 2009 Americana Sale, and the Anderson-Glecker coin that most recently realized $2,350 in our November 2016 Baltimore Auction, where it was graded Good-6, Verdigris. This variety was absent from Ford, Perkins, Norweb and other notable collections. This appears to be only the sixth example known. Collector envelope with attribution notation included.
