1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.3-N. Hercules Head. Mailed Bust Left. 144.6 gns. Very Fine. Dark brown and displaying hard, ever so gentle porosity. Surfaces exhibit the usual light marks associated with circulation but are free of the major planchet flaws that plague this variety. Date is off the flan and the reverse die is in its early stages of failure.
Ex Robert E. Branigan Estate (Bowers & Ruddy, August 1978, lot 33).
