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-20 (PCGS). 113.8 grains. 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. Generally dark charcoal-olive copper with traces of verdigris on both sides, particularly the obverse. Planchet lightly clipped twice, most noticeably at 1 o'clock relative to the obverse. Centers are lighter chestnut brown in color, detail there soft due to die swell. Otherwise this piece is well defined for a mid-grade example of this Miller number, centering quite good for both sides despite the fact that little borer denticulation is seen on the obverse.
