1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.5-M, W-2595. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust

1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.5-M, W-2595. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left. AU-55 (PCGS). Struck on a generally hard and tight planchet with only the most trivial microgranularity discernible under close magnification with a loupe; this as-struck feature does not detract. There are also no post-production marks or other blemishes of note, the in-hand appearance impressively smooth and inviting. Frosty steely olive-brown with a few blushes of lighter golden-brown evident in and around the central obverse. Definition is bold to sharp despite the fact that the word CONNEC at right obverse approaches the border, right reverse border into the letters in ET LIB. We have handled a small number of AU examples for this Miller number in recent years, and the overall smooth surfaces of this piece confirm it as superior to most. Provenance: From the John Bolger Collection. Earlier ex Heritage's sale of the Liberty Collection of American Colonial Coinage, Part III, May 2008 Long Beach Signature Auction, lot 1930; Anthony Terranova, April 2011. PCGS# 331. NGC ID: 2B2G.
