166.5 grains. Extremely Fine. The surfaces are quite smooth and exhibit abundant natural mint gloss, where not interrupted by planchet laminations that have begun to corrode a bit.

128.3 grains. Choice Very Fine. Glossy, deep chocolate brown surfaces are attractive and quite problem-free.

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 32.6-X.6 (Rarity-6). Draped Bust Left. 130.7 grains. Very Fine. Dark...
130.7 grains. Very Fine. Dark grayish brown surfaces exhibit uniform, light porosity, giving this rare variety an even and not wholly unattractive appearance. Well and evenly struck for the variety, with the usual weakness of detail in the devices. A few very thin planchet laminations on both sides.

125.8 grains. Choice Extremely Fine in terms of wear. Lovely mahogany and chocolate brown surfaces exhibit original gloss and no post-striking porosity. As with so many Connecticuts, the strike is somewhat lacking, leaving this beautiful coin with flatly defined central devices. The '87' in the date is 90% visible, while the '17' are amorphous blobs. Here would be a charming example...  more
