1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.3-N, W-4610. Rarity-2. Draped Bust Left--Overstruck on a 1787 Ryder 1-B Massachusetts Cent--VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS). 117.8 grains. A remarkable example of this rare overstrike with the most Massachusetts undertype we can recall seeing on one of these. Significant detail from the reverse of the 1787 Ryder 1-B Massachusetts cent host coin is seen on the obverse of the Connecticut including much of the eagle, the exergue line below, and even some of the MASSACHUSETTS legend at the rim from 7 to 9 oclock. Less undertype is seen on the Connecticut reverse though we note what appears to be the N from the COMMONWEALTH legend visible at the seated figures head. Surfaces are dark brown and lightly burnished. An exciting offering for any Connecticut or Massachusetts specialist.
