Miller 33.7-r.4 (R-5+). Draped Bust Left VG $120.00 113.6 grains. Very Good on average, although some areas show the detail of Fine, while other areas (including the date area) show no detail from poor strike.

Good to Very Good. Devices smooth, some light graininess in the fields. Obverse scratches. Rotated dies. 2 pieces. 1262 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 37.9-e (R-5+). Draped Bust Left VF $440.00 121.3 grains. Very Fine. Glossy, ruddy brown surfaces exhibit some ever so faint planchet laminations at the central reverse. Struck ever so slightly off center on an ovoid flan, this specimen represents a wonderful specimen of this very scarce variety. 1263 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 37.13-HH. ET LIR. Draped Bust Left VG $50.00 97.2 grains. Very Good. Smooth and uniformly porous, this brassy toned specimen is possibly a contemporary cast counterfeit meant to deceive a Confederation era American. 1264 1787 Connecticut Copper.

Miller 42-kk.2 (R-5+). AUCTOPI. ET IIB VG $900.00 Draped Bust Left. 138.9 grains. Very Good. Uniform porosity is joined by some ancient scratches and digs on this medium brown coin.

Dark chestnut brown surfaces exhibit light granularity. The salient features of this coin are the CONNFC mispelling and the curious curved planchet clip that has left a small burr of metal around 10:30 on the reverse rim. 1267 1787 Connecticut Coppers (4). Draped Bust Left AG to VG $90.00 About Good to Very Good. Here is a corroded grouping that will be a challenge for the attribution specialist.
