  • Lot 30052

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right VF30 NGC. M. 3.2-L, W-2350, R.4. 146.6 grains. The lightly corroded, matte-like surfaces exhibit tan and rich steel-brown patina, with hints of mahogany. A small rim mark is noted at 12 o'clock on the obverse. This piece is nicely centered with complete legends and only the bottoms of the date merged into the border. This second example from the Eric P. Newman Collection has sharpness that is equivalent to the Taylor coin. An excellent opportunity. Newman's envelope identifies this as Miller 3.5-B. The differences between the two varieties are minuscule, and they are often confused. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $411.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right VF20 NGC. M. 3.2-L, W-2330, R.4. 149.7 grains. The two-tone golden-tan, olive, and steel-brown surfaces of this pleasing piece are minutely rough, with old corrosion that has now hardened into an attractive, glossy appearance. The centering of this piece is acceptable, with only the date merging into the border. The sharpness is nearly equal to that of the VF Taylor coin. Miller obverse 3.2 is known only in combination with reverse L, and examples are routinely encountered in lower circulated grades. We have handled only one finer example of this variety. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $440.63. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right AU55 NGC. M. 3.1-L, W-2325, R.4. 125.0 grains. This impressive olive and chocolate-brown coin retains nearly full cartwheel luster, and is visually finer than any others that have been offered in recent years. The planchet appears smooth with trivial, inconsequential defects. The obverse is sharply detailed and nicely centered. The reverse is weakly defined in spots, and slightly off-center toward 8 o'clock. Both sides show traces of golden-tan, faded from original mint color. This example from the Eric P. Newman Collection is far finer than either of the VF Taylor coins, or the VF Perkins piece, and is better than the flawed AU Ford coin. The Newman and Ford coins are the two finest known examples. Reverse L appears here with obverse 3.1 and is also known with obverse 3.2, as in the next lot. The two varieties are of equal rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,987.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right VF25 NGC. M. 3.1-A.3, W-2315, R.4. 134.3 grains. The Connecticut series is undoubtedly the most varied and extensive series of the colonial era, consisting of more than 360 individual die varieties dated from 1785 to 1788. The present offering of Connecticut coppers from the Eric P. Newman Collection, some appearing in the Internet-only portion of this sale, includes 162 different varieties, along with duplicates. Obverse die 3.1 was used with three different reverse dies, A.3, F.3, and L. About two-thirds of all appearances of obverse 3.1 are mated with reverse A.3, and most of the rest are combined with reverse L, like that appearing in the next lot. Reverse die A.3 appears here with obverse 3.1, and also appears with obverse 6.6, and it is unique in that combination. We will present these statistics throughout the Connecticut offering as many collectors seek an example of each individual obverse and reverse die, rather than attempting the essentially impossible task of a complete variety collection. This delightful two-tone example exhibits light olive-brown devices with steel-brown fields. A few planchet rifts and minuscule reverse corrosion spots are noted but are clearly unobjectionable. Although the date is partially merged with the lower reverse border, this coin offers excellent centering. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $470.00.

    Descripción:
    1788 COPPER Vermont Copper, ET LIB INDE, Struck over Irish Halfpenny VG10. RR-35, Bressett 20-X, W-2130, High R.6. The RR-35 is an extremely rare variety, with an estimated population of just 10 coins, according to Tony Carlotto. He writes that every known example is struck over an Irish halfpenny. In the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins, Dave Bowers assigns the URS-5 rating, indicating that nine to 16 pieces survive. The RR-35 was missing from the Taylor Collection, as well as all other important Vermont collections offered in recent times. Carlotto mentioned an example that appeared in Hathaway and Bowers Catalogue No. 7 of September 1970. This coin has lovely olive-brown surfaces with a minor planchet defect leaving a void on the edge at 10 o'clock, relative to the obverse. An ancient scratch is noted at the center of the obverse, and the surfaces are minutely granular, but far finer than usual. Traces of the legend from the undertype appear on both sides, including parts of GEORGIVS III REX on the obverse, and RNIA from HIBERNIA on the reverse. The RR-35 is one of the important Machin's Mills varieties, struck late in the Vermont series. The present offering will be regarded as one of the highly significant events in the annals of Vermont collecting. The Eric P. Newman Collection allows collectors the opportunity to bid on 28 of the 39 known varieties. Only one reverse die in the Vermont series, used for RR-18 and RR-35, has ET LIB left and INDE right.
