1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 16.4-A.2, W-4615. Rarity-7. Draped Bust Left. Fine, Granular. 108.6 grains. Struck off center to 3 oclock on both sides, the right peripheral devices are largely off the planchet, but other features are bold for the grade. Dark ruddy-brown surfaces are rough and pitted overall, although there are no singularly mentionable marks. Flan fissures at the right reverse border are as made and minor. A highly elusive variety with only a single recent auction offering of which we are aware, the fleeting nature of this opportunity for specialists cannot be overstated. From the Norman G. Peters Collection.
