    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, ETLIB INDE Fine 15 NGC. M. 2.1-A, W-2465, R.3. 81.8 grains. In his 1859 American Numismatical Manual, Montroville Dickeson nicknamed this variety the Round Head, a name that is still in use today. This plentiful variety is available in a wide range of grades, and the present piece provides an opportunity for collectors to obtain the Eric P. Newman provenance at a price we expect will prove affordable compared to many others in this sale. Obverse 2.1 also appears with reverse D.3, and it is substantially rarer in that combination. Reverse A appears with obverse 1 and 2.1, and both varieties appear in this sale. This example retains all of the major detail on olive and steel-brown surfaces, with hints of mahogany on the reverse. Scattered marks are consistent with the grade. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $587.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, ETLIB INDE VF25 NGC. M. 1-A, W-2460, High R.4. 137.3 grains. This variety is extraordinarily difficult to grade due to the weak centers. The Eric P. Newman coin has detail that suggests an XF grade in some places, and a lower grade in others. The olive and golden-brown surfaces are generally smooth with a few small marks and planchet flaws on each side. Overall, this is an attractive piece that will make a nice addition to most collections. Obverse 1 is used solely for this die marriage, while reverse A also appears with obverse 2.1, as in the next lot. Only five obverse dies in the 1786 Connecticut series have the bust facing to the right, and the others have punctuation in the legend. Miller 1-A was rated R.6 in the 1975 EAC catalog, and it is considered High R.4 today. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $3,525.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left VG8 NGC. M. 7.1-D, W-2440, High R.4. 117.3 grains. A diagonal planchet flaw appears across the cheek, mouth, and chin of this well-worn but still pleasing copper. The flaw is similar to the obverse plated in the Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia, although they are different coins. The Miller 7.1-D is a scarce variety and the obverse appears only in this one die marriage. Reverse D was used with six different obverse dies in combinations of varying rarity, and is seen more often with obverse 7.1 than with any other obverse die. Rich steel-brown patina gathers near the peripheries with golden-tan at the centers. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $705.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right VF25 NGC. M. 6.5-M, W-2430, R.6. 132.7 grains. Both sides of this chestnut-brown coin have steel toning that outlines the lettering. The surfaces have myriad fine horizontal and diagonal scratches that resemble adjustment marks on federal silver coins, although we are unaware of any attempts to adjust the weight of these Connecticut coppers. Neither die appears in any other combination among the 1785 Connecticut coppers. Hodder rates this variety High R.6 (13 to 18), and Bowers suggests a rating of URS-6 (17 to 32). About 20 survivors are known of this elusive variety, and the present example is finer than most. Both the Taylor and Perkins coins graded Fine. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $10,575.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right XF40 NGC. M. 6.3-G.2, W-2410, High R.5. 135.8 grains. This exceptional coin combines golden-tan, olive-brown, and steel patina with smooth, problem-free surfaces that show only minuscule planchet defects on each side. The strike is sharp and nicely centered with a bold date and border dentils below. The obverse die was mated with reverse dies G.1 and G.2, and the G.2 reverse appears only in the present combination. This example is nearly equal to the rough AU coin in the Perkins Collection, and it is far finer than the VF Taylor coin. 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 @ $3.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,406.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right AU53 NGC. M. 6.2-F.1, W-2395, R.3. 154.3 grains. Miller's Goatee obverse, die 6.2, appears only with reverse F.1, while the reverse die also appears with obverse 3.4. Both varieties are plentiful, although seldom seen as fine as the Eric P. Newman specimen. Distinct olive-brown surfaces have accompanying steel-blue patina around the devices on this lovely AU piece. The heavy obverse die breaks and cracks are prominent on the present example. This coin is near the top of the weight-class, and less than one grain lighter than the XF Perkins example. The finer Taylor piece graded XF, and the best in the Ford Collection was a clearly inferior XF coin. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $5,581.25.
