    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right AU55 NGC. M. 4.4-C, W-2375, R.3. 146.6 grains. A sensational Choice AU coin with glossy chocolate-brown surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. The obverse has a minuscule rim nick at 5:30, but there are no other flaws on either side of this beauty. Perkins had a VF coin, and Taylor's was close to XF. The best example in Ford was also graded just VF. The obverse die appears with reverse dies C and D, while the reverse makes no other appearance. The lovely Eric P. Newman piece is finer than any other we have seen. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $6,462.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right AU53 NGC. M. 4.3-A.2, W-2365, R.3. 129.6 grains. An attractive example of this plentiful variety, exhibiting smooth olive-brown, chestnut, and tan surfaces. A few minor planchet rifts are present, but no other imperfections are seen. Surface roughness on the face and neck remains from the planchet. The Eric P. Newman copper is finer than the VF Taylor coin, or either of the XF Perkins or XF Ford examples. Obverse 4.3 appears with reverse A.2 as here, and rarely with reverse D. This die marriage is the only appearance of the reverse die. 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 $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, African Head VF Details, Damaged NGC. M. 4.2-F.6, W-2360, R.8. 131.2 grains. Legendary Connecticut coppers author Henry C. Miller knew of this variety when his reference was published in 1920, and he wrote: "Of this variety only one authentic specimen is known." However, he was unaware that the reverse was different from the reverse of the other African Head variety. It is almost certain that the present example, once in the collections of Dr. Thomas Hall and Virgil Brand, is the exact coin that Miller spoke of. As such, it is the discovery coin for the variety. Eric P. Newman published the revised reverse description in January 1972, following personal correspondence between Newman and Edward R. Barnsley, dated April 21, 1966. Newman's own coin, and the piece that we offered as part of the W. Philip Keller Collection in October 2010, are two of the three known examples of this extremely rare variety. None of the other famous collections offered in recent times have included an example of Miller 4.2-F.6. Furthermore, neither obverse nor reverse appears anywhere else in the Connecticut series. This coin combines steel-brown and olive patina with smooth and glossy surfaces, although both sides show multiple dents that cause surface bulges on the obverse, and depressions on the reverse. Minor corrosion specks appear near the chin on the obverse. The finest known Keller specimen was graded VF30 NGC, and this similarly detailed coin, the second finest known, is called VF Details, Damaged by NGC. The third piece grades VF20 PCGS. Here is an extremely important opportunity for the advanced Connecticut specialist. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate (sold for $1.25 on May 16, 1935); B.G. Johnson (sold for $10.00); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $70,500.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, African Head Fine 12 NGC. M. 4.1-F.4, W-2355, R.1. 143.5 grains. The famous African Head variety has been known since the middle of the 19th century, when Montroville W. Dickeson called it the Negro Head. Although a rim nick appears at 12 o'clock on the reverse, this attractive light brown coin has excellent eye appeal. The obverse legends are typically weak, with the entire reverse also showing weak design details as usual. This example bears a modest grade, but will still be a valuable addition to an advanced cabinet. Neither obverse 4.1 nor reverse F.4 appear anywhere else in the Connecticut series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $881.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right XF40 NGC. M. 3.3-F.3, W-2335, R.4. 162.0 grains. A trivial obverse die bulge creates design weakness behind the neck on this lovely coin. Smooth and glossy golden-tan and olive-brown surfaces exhibit hard maroon patina in some areas on both sides. The centering is exceptional with full legends and a complete date. This example is far finer than the defective Fine Taylor coin, and slightly better than the Choice Very Fine Perkins specimen. Obverse 3.3 appears only with reverse F.3, while the reverse also appears in the rare 3.1-F.3 marriage. Ex: Richard Picker; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,410.00.
