 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.44-W.3 (R-6). Draped Bust Left. Very Good or better. This well centered example is a pleasing medium brown color. The surfaces display light even porosity as is typical for early coppers. A couple of very minor planchet striations can be found with scrutiny, which is also quite common on colonials. A short thin cut at 12:00 on the obverse is the only mark worthy of mention. The overall quality of this example is quite good and it is certainly extremely close to the Miller-Ford specimen in terms of both detail and eye appeal. A scarce variety that should be carefully considered by the Connecticut Copper specialist.
