  • Lot 30163

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left XF40 NGC. M. 14.1-L.2, W-4570, R.6. 109.6 grains. The obverse is usually found with reverse L.2, but occasionally with reverse S. This reverse die is slightly more available with obverse 16.4. This piece has hard maroon patina with some green verdigris, showing traces of light tan on the high points. This piece appears to be a virtual twin to the Ford coin for detail, surfaces, and the remarkable die state, and ranks among the finest examples we have seen. The reverse has an extraordinary internal die break. That fatal reverse die break undoubtedly accounts for the rarity of this variety. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $881.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, CONNLC Fine 15 NGC. M. 13-A.1, W-4535, R.5. 108.0 grains. Both dies are unique to this marriage. Aside from the Garrett AU example, VG to VF appears typical for this scarce variety. This example has poor centering, and that also appears to be the rule for the variety. The surfaces of this mahogany and chestnut-brown example are lightly granular, with a few planchet flaws, and some post-production marks that include a few very old scratches on each side. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $763.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left XF40 NGC. M. 12.2-E, W-4530, High R.6. 121.9 grains. Obverse 12.2 may be found with reverse dies C and E, and reverse E is known with obverse dies 7, 9, 12.1, and 12.2. The die variety is painted on the obverse in the hand of Frederick A. Canfield (1849-1926). Robert Martin has researched Canfield and his collections, and reports that the Dover, New Jersey resident was a mining engineer who collected minerals and colonial coins. This pleasing olive example has some splashes of deeper steel with delicate greenish overtones. The upper right obverse and lower left reverse legends are tight. Nicer examples include the XF-AU 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin, and the XF Norweb example. Taylor's graded VF and Perkins had a VG piece. This variety was missing from the Ford offering. Ex: Frederick A. Canfield; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,400.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left VF25 NGC. M. 12.1-F.1, W-4520, R.5. 128.1 grains. The obverse is paired with reverse dies E and F.1, and the reverse is found nowhere else in the series. A scarce variety, although several higher grade pieces are known, including a Mint State example in the 1975 Pine Tree-EAC sale. This piece has trivial obverse die bulges above and to the right. A few scattered planchet flaws are noted on the olive and golden-brown surfaces. The centering is pleasing although the upper obverse and lower reverse, including the date, are weakly defined. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $440.63. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left AU55 NGC. M. 12.1-E, W-4515, R.6. 129.6 grains. Obverse 12.1 appears with reverse dies E and F.1, and reverse E is found with obverse dies 7, 9, 12.1, and 12.2. An imperfectly centered impression with the upper obverse legend trapped against the edge of the planchet. Similarly, the lower reverse is off the flan, with only the tops of 788 visible in the date. Both sides have pleasing golden-olive surfaces with faded pinkish mint red visible at the center of the reverse. A few scattered spots are noted, with a wavy obverse surface. Myriad pre-production planchet marks are noted, along with trivial post-production marks on this Condition Census example. The only one we have seen that rivals this remarkable piece is the AU Ford coin, with two or three XF examples following that coin in the census. 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 @ $5.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,693.75.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left AU55 NGC. M. 11-G, W-4510, R.2. 112.7 grains. A second and even finer example of the plentiful Miller 11-G marriage. This golden-chestnut example has microscopic traces of greenish verdigris in the fine details of the devices. Better centered than the previous example, with the upper obverse legend tight, and the left reverse legend also close to the flan edge. The obverse is beveled and the reverse border is indented. A small flaw is noted at the lower obverse, and the weakly defined upper reverse shows myriad planchet marks. This example falls short of the Taylor and Eliasberg coins, but it is equal to the Perkins and Ford coins, and finer than the 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin, as well as the Norweb example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,112.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
