- 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 1.2-C, W-2720. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Right, Muttonhead. EF-40 (PCGS). An exceptionally attractive example of this distinct and popular variety in the Connecticut copper series. Evenly patinated rose-brown surfaces are lightly struck around the peripheries, yet suitably bold in the centers. Shallow curved planchet clip at 9 o'clock, a shallow flan flaw just past 3 o'clock at the reverse border is also as made. The surfaces are smooth apart from a pair of light obverse scuffs on the cheek that form an X shape. Dickeson (1859) described this obverse portrait as the Bull's Head, a name no longer widely in use. The reverse is also distinct due to the topless seated figure. PCGS# 343. NGC ID: 2B2M.
