1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1.1-A, W-2700. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1.1-A, W-2700. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Right, Small Head, ETLIB INDE. VF-30 (PCGS). OGH. The distinctive Small Head type, a biennial die found paired with reverses A and VV of 1787, and also with reverse I of 1788, for which it is called obverse 1. This PCGS-certified Choice VF offers fairly typical detail and overall quality for the 1787 Miller 1.1-A pairing, the surfaces smooth and generally hard with only light granularity evident upon close inspection with a loupe. Medium tobacco brown patina overall, obverse with intermingled rose and olive, reverse with some old, inactive verdigris engaging a few peripheral letters at upper left and right. Obverse impression tight to 7 o'clock with no denticulation at lower left, reverse trivially off center to 1 o'clock and lacking denticulation in that area. Central striking detail is soft with original planchet texture evident at the seated figure's midsection, but peripheral bold is bold for the grade and the overall design is fully appreciable. Free of troublesome marks with a pleasing appearance in-hand. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 346. NGC ID: AVKV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
