    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left, CONNLC XF40 NGC. M. 17-Q, W-4640, R.6. 134.3 grains. Dr. Hall's edge paint is noted on this example, indicating one of his front line coins; this piece went to Virgil Brand. The obverse appears here and on the unique Miller 17-O, and the reverse die appears nowhere else in the Connecticut series. Obverse 17 in the 1788 series is the same die as obverse 50 in the 1787 series. Both sides of this attractive piece exhibit generally smooth surfaces with microscopic granularity. Steel and chocolate-brown surfaces have splashes of golden-tan on the obverse, and olive-brown highlighting the reverse devices. This important piece is the second finest we have seen behind the AU Ford specimen. The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin graded VF, Taylor's was Fine, and Perkins had a VG to Fine example. The Norweb coin graded Good. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate (sold for $5.00 on May 18, 1935); B.G. Johnson (sold for $7.50); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,700.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Sprig above Plow AU58 NGC. M. 6-D, W-5050, R.2. 148.2 grains. Dated 1787, Obverse die 6 was used in combination with reverse dies C and D. Reverse C is called the 'Pattern Shield' and was used with a small group of distinctive obverse dies that are considered pattern issues. Reverse D is a regular issue New Jersey reverse that appears only in this combination. This very late die state piece has a die break left of the shield point, with cracks extending to the border left and right. Last year the Colonial Coin Collectors Club and the American Numismatic Society co-published New Jersey State Coppers, by Roger S. Siboni, John L. Howes, and A. Buell Ish. This tome is the definitive reference on the series, and is available through the ANS website, Numismatics.org. The authors include a Condition Census for each variety, based on strict EAC grading standards. The Eric P. Newman coin fits nicely in the Condition Census that includes two Mint State and five AU coins. Side-by-side comparison may or may not reveal the exact order of the coins, although this piece is clearly the third finest known. Myriad tiny handling marks and pre-production planchet marks appear on both sides of this dark olive-brown example. The 6-D is rarely found with the level of detail seen here. This exceptional copper will be a wonderful addition to an advanced collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $10,575.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left Fine 12 NGC. M. 16.5-H, W-4625, Low R.5. 97.2 grains. The obverse makes no other appearances in the Connecticut series, while the reverse also appears with obverse dies 6 and 16.1. The surfaces of this scarce copper show old verdigris, especially on the steel-brown reverse. The obverse exhibits chocolate fields and olive-brown devices. The Eric P. Newman specimen is comparable to others that we have seen, including the Fine examples in the 1975 Pine-Tree EAC sale, and in Taylor and Norweb. Perkins had an XF coin, and Ford's was Mint State. Ex: Richard Picker; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $470.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left MS62 Brown NGC M. 16.4-L.2, W-4620, High R.5. 92.6 grains. The cataloger's first response upon seeing this coin was to shake his head in amazement. The obverse shows two complete profiles, side-by-side. The right portion of the reverse design appears to the left, and right of that is an elliptical indented area that retains traces of incuse letters representing a brockage image. Eric P. Newman explains: {blockquote} "Two blanks were in the coining press. The top one received the obverse and had a blank reverse. The bottom one conversely had a blank obverse and a struck reverse. The operator tried to remove both coins but got the lower one out and the upper one partly out from the die area. When the dies came together the top coin was partly restruck and the impression of the blank top of the lower coin was pressed into the upper coin."{/blockquote} Both sides exhibit lovely olive-brown surfaces with wispy blue overtones that accompany considerable original orange mint color. The two V-shaped areas on each side remain untouched by the dies, and clearly show the original planchet marks, illustrative of the planchet appearance before the Connecticut coppers were struck. Careful study of those areas will help the student to understand the difference between original planchet marks and later, or post-production imperfections. The present specimen, a remarkable double strike with a brockage indent, is also the finest survivor that we have seen from the 16.4-L.2 dies. It is finer than the granular AU 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin. It is clearly better than the XF Perkins coin, and far finer than those in Taylor, Norweb, or Ford. We have no hesitation in stating that this is the finest existing 1788 Miller 16.4-L.2 copper. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $7.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $25,850.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left AU58 NGC M. 16.3-N, W-4610, R.2. 114.2 grains. This is the only appearance of the obverse and reverse dies. Both sides of this near-Mint Connecticut copper show myriad marks, and we believe that nearly every one of those marks remains from the planchet prior to striking. The glossy surfaces combine golden-tan and olive-brown with maroon patina along the left obverse and reverse border. Prominent clash marks appear in the left obverse field. Although a plentiful variety, typical survivors grade VF to XF. The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin, along with those in Taylor, Perkins, and Ford, graded XF, while the Norweb piece was called Fine 15.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left INDL ET LIB VF35 NGC. M. 16.2-O, W-4605, R.5. 135.8 grains. An amazing Connecticut error that also exhibits the Canfield inked variety notation, along with "Dup" inked below, apparently indicating that he considered this remarkable piece as a duplicate in his collection. Advanced specialists will recognize the historical importance of those notations. This lovely golden-brown copper has smooth surfaces with a faint scratch hidden in the hair on the obverse. The bold double strike shows AUCTORI twice on the obverse, and INDL twice on the reverse. An indent at the lower obverse and associated tab at the upper reverse represents the third strike. The indent strike created some weakness at the upper reverse in the area around the tab. Ex: Frederick A. Canfield; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,700.00.
