1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-A.1, W-2390. Rarity-5. Bust Right.

1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-A.1, W-2390. Rarity-5. Bust Right. VF-30 (PCGS). Struck from a late state of this die pairing, the obverse is a bit soft at lower right due to die swell, reverse even more so at lower left and right, again due to die bulge. In terms of strike this coin is very similar to the late state Miller 6.1-A.1 plate coin in Randall P. Clark's 2021 Connecticut copper reference, pp. 169 and 187. Impressions on both sides nicely centered, the strike actually well executed where allowed by the fatigued dies, with all major design elements appreciable, and most fairly bold. Color and surfaces are also strong suits for this piece, the former attractively original in warm orange-brown with a tinge of rose, latter pleasingly smooth in-hand with only trivial planchet fissures drifting through the obverse. A coin with a nice wholesome appearance for a moderately circulated late die state example of this Miller number, it would fit comfortably into many collections. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 316. NGC ID: 2B2A. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
