- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left VF30 NGC. M. 37.4-k.1, W-4115, R.3. 140.4 grains. Reverse dies k.1 and RR are known with this obverse, while reverse k.1 makes no other appearances in the Connecticut series. This steel-brown example has smooth and somewhat glossy surfaces with scattered handling marks on each side. The left and right obverse fields show bulges from die sinking. The modest grade of the Eric P. Newman piece and the significant population of the variety mean that this coin will provide an excellent opportunity for the type collector, or for the pedigree aficionado. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $528.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left AU58 NGC. M. 37.3-i, W-4110, R.3. 157.4 grains. Both dies are unique to the Miller 37.3-i die combination, appearing nowhere else in the Connecticut series. This lovely chocolate and olive-brown example has glossy surfaces with traces of luster. Considerable strike weakness is noted at the upper obverse and lower reverse, similar to several others we have seen. The grade is based on the surface quality as opposed to existing detail. Of those known to us, only the Taylor and Perkins coins rival this example. 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 @ $1.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,700.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left MS65 Brown NGC. M. 33.39-s.1, W-3960, R.4. 134.3 grains. This is a stunning Gem, and likely the finest known example of the variety. Obverse 33.39 was used with reverse dies Z.13, Z.20, and s.1, and reverse s.1 was used with obverse dies 33.29 (five known) and 33.39. David Bowers rates Miller 33.39-s.1 as URS-9, meaning 125 to 249 examples survive, and Michael Hodder calls it R.4 on the traditional Sheldon scale, equating to a population of 76 to 200 coins. Based on the data, we submit that there are 150 to 200 examples of this variety surviving in all grades. Strike weakness is evident on both sides of this piece, showing myriad original planchet marks on the devices. However, there is a complete absence of post-production blemishes on the lovely chocolate-brown surfaces, which are complemented by frosty mint luster. Traces of original red mint color are evident among the letters, especially on the obverse. This late die state example shows radial flowlines that draw the letters to the edge, die erosion that appears as surface stippling, and delicate die cracks with a heavier crack in front of the seated figure's profile on the reverse. While Miller 33.39-s.1 is best considered moderately scarce, most survivors are in low to middle circulated grades. The finest of seven examples in the ANS holdings appears to grade nearly XF. The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin was called VF plus, with some characteristics of XF. The Norweb family had a VF example, while the Taylor and Perkins coins were called XF, or nearly so. We have seen only one other piece that rivals this example, appearing on the Miller plate. In the Ford catalog, Michael Hodder called that piece Choice Uncirculated and the finest he had seen. The color plate in that catalog suggests a similar coin, although the Newman example appears slightly finer to this cataloger. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $35,250.00.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left VF30 NGC. M. 33.32-Z.13, W-3830, R.1. 140.4 grains. This plentiful variety features the only use of obverse 33.32. Alternatively, reverse Z.13 appears with obverse dies 33.1, 33.8, 33.21, 33.32, and 33.39. Bluish steel-brown patina appears in the lettering on this smooth golden-tan and olive-brown example. A few minor rim marks are evident. The right obverse and reverse borders are evident on this imperfectly centered strike, with a full date and dentils below. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate (sold for $1.25 on May 17, 1935); B.G. Johnson (sold for $5.00); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,116.25.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left, ETLIR VF30 NGC. M. 33.29-gg.1, W-3945, R.5. 111.1 grains. Approximately 50 to 60 examples are known of this scarce variety. The obverse was used four times with reverse dies Z.7, Z.25, s.1, and gg.1, while this reverse was used with obverse dies 31.1, 33.11, 33.29, and 33.38. The Eric P. Newman piece has noticeable die bulges at the left side of the obverse, and at the upper reverse, accounting for the scarcity. Evidence of a past cleaning is noted on the devices, with tan and olive-brown surfaces hosting small areas of deep green verdigris. However, this example is clearly finer than the 1975 Pine Tree-EAC and Norweb coins, and it is comparable to the Taylor, Perkins, and Ford pieces. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $470.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
