1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 7.1-D, W-2440. Rarity-4+. Bust Left.

1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 7.1-D, W-2440. Rarity-4+. Bust Left. EF-40 (PCGS). 151.9 grains. Both sides are even rose-brown throughout. The strike is substantial with plenty of detail present. No marks from circulation are present but the planchet was flawed when struck. Some deep fissures engage the letters O in AUCTORI and the top of the effigy's head. On the reverse some fissures run horizontally across the seated figure's lap and the adjoining globe. The obverse field shows the usual bulging around the effigy, and the reverse die was beginning to fail when this specimen was struck leaving what would become a cud at the top from 10 to 1 o'clock. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part IX, May 2005, lot 237; our ANA Auction of August 2016, lot 1153. PCGS# 322. NGC ID: 2B29. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
