Lustrous, golden brown surfaces are quite glossy and attractive on the obverse.

The lustre is quite amazing on both sides, the obverse fairly fully struck with...  more 263 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 4-L. Mailed Bust Left. Horned Bust AU $950.00 115.2 grains. About Uncirculated. Small planchet variety, 27.0 mm. Near the low end of the Condition Census for the variety. Good, rich chocolate brown in color on both sides.

Mailed Bust Left. Horned Bust VF $400.00 140.6 grains. Very Fine. Here is an attractive specimen of this common variety easily distinguishable in this die state by a large ''horn''-like die break in the left obverse field.

Miller 33.21-Z.13 (Rarity-6+). Draped Bust Left AG $1,000.00 123.7 grains. Called ''Sharpness of Very Fine in places, About Good elsewhere'' in the Perkins sale, an accurate representation of this coin that was probably struck with the dies in axial misalignment, causing the upper obverse and lower reverse to be well struck and lower obverse and upper reverse to be very poorly struck. Surfaces are golden brown with some olive overtones and are just a...  more 268 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.38-Z.6 (R-5+). Draped Bust Left F $275.00 128.6 grains. Fine. Surfaces are golden brown on both obverse and reverse, with deeper burgundy brown showing in the fields and in the most protected crevices of the devices.

Both dies are clearly failing, the die cracked and sinking at the left obverse and the die sinking...  more 269 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.39-Z.20 (Rarity-7). Draped Bust Left VG $1,700.00 120.7 grains. Very Good or better in terms of wear. Deep tannish brown on the devices and legends, the fields are dark with deposits and advanced porosity. Some ancient tool marks and scuffs in the fields are noted for the sake of completeness but do not seriously detract from the overall appeal of this well used, very rare Connecticut copper variety. When the Perkins (2000) specimen...  more 270 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.39-s.1 (R-4). Draped Bust Left UNC $5,250.00 Brown Uncirculated. 149.3 grains. Deep chestnut brown surfaces are wholly free of pesky carbon flecks or laminations and exhibit rich mint lustre on both sides.

The obverse is centered...  more 271 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 37.11-ff.2 (R-5). Draped Bust Left F $450.00 145.4 grains. Fine.

About Very Good and a coin that probably exhibited much more detail before its surfaces took on a uniform, advanced granularity on both sides. Light olive brown in most places, with some darker brown patches in areas on both sides. A perfect, small planchet clip is clearly visible near 'EC' of CONNEC. The recently sold Ford collection was missing one of this variety. Here is a...  more 273 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 38-l.2 (R-4). AUCIORI spelling. Draped Bust Left AB VF $400.00 155.8 grains.
