1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6-K, W-2690. Rarity-5. Draped Bust

1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6-K, W-2690. Rarity-5. Draped Bust Left. VF-25 (PCGS). One of just two 1786-dated varieties with the Draped Bust portrait, and an above average example of this Guide Book Connecticut type in terms of in-hand appearance. Lovely orange-brown patina blankets both sides with warmer olive-copper outlining or otherwise engaging many of the design elements. The strike is soft in the centers, original planchet texture evident at the seated figure's knees, but the focal features are well outlined and sufficiently bold overall. Peripheral softness is more pronounced at right and lower right reverse, where the letters in ET LIB and digits 86 in the date are soft and/or run off the flan due to centering issues. Obverse also off center, but to 12 o'clock, and also to a lesser extent, with the border at top into the letters ORI in AUCTORI and CON in CONNEC. Microgranularity to the texture is noted, but the most significant detraction is a concentration of mostly vertical pin scratches at central obverse that also requires a loupe to discern. The in-hand appearance is positive, as related above, and this piece will please many collectors. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 337. NGC ID: 2B2J.
