- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left XF40 NGC. M. 16.2-NN.1, W-3005, High R.5. 143.5 grains. Die alignment 360 degrees. Obverse 16.2 is found with reverse dies NN.1 and NN.2, while NN.1 is unique to this marriage. The tan and olive surfaces of this example exhibit specks of light green corrosion, with a black streak on the reverse from 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock. A planchet flaw forms a slight crack in the obverse border at 11:30, and shows a prominent void at the upper reverse. The Newman copper is finer than most others we have seen, outshining the VG Taylor coin, and the VF examples in the 1975 EAC sale, Perkins, and Ford. Ex: Chapman Brothers (12/1889); William Wallace Hays; Hillyer Ryder; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $499.38. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, CONNECT, Fatal Break Fine 12 NGC. M. 15-S, W-2915, High R.5. 126.5 grains. The Hall attribution number is painted on the obverse in white ink, in this case matching the Miller number. Reverse S appears nowhere else in the series, and is always found in this late die state, called the 'Fatal Break.' This example is considerably worn, with noticeable surface roughness. However, the two-tone presentation with steel-blue fields and olive-brown devices is delightful. Although AUCTORI is tight against the border and the date is faint, the strike is nicely centered with all lettering complete. Robert Martin knew of 30 examples in 2000 and 35 today. Ex: 'Dr. Hall. Oct 95;' William Wallace Hays; Hillyer Ryder; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $940.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, 1787 over 1788 VF35 NGC. M. 15-R, W-2910, R.7. 100.3 grains. The obverse and reverse legends are diagnostic, with Connecticut abbreviated CONNECT, and the reverse lettered IND ET LIB. Furthermore, the reverse has a blundered date that was originally entered as 1788, and corrected to 1787. The underlying 8 is faint on this example. The blundered reverse appears with obverse dies 9 and 15, both included in this sale. The upper obverse border is defective as produced on this dark olive and steel-brown example. Slight planchet roughness is evident on the obverse, and both sides exhibit microscopic post-production granularity. The strike is nicely centered with considerable border detail visible. Miller 15-R is an extremely rare variety that is rated URS-4 in the Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia, indicating a total population of only five to eight coins. Michael Hodder estimates the variety as R.7 on the Sheldon scale, indicating a population of four to 12 coins. Robert Martin reports six verified examples and two other unverified pieces. Known examples include the present coin, the 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin that was undergraded as Fine to Very Fine, the rough VF Ford specimen, and the Canfield-ANS example with Very Fine detail and similarly rough surfaces. This example from the Eric P. Newman Collection is among the finest known. Side-by-side comparison would be necessary to verify the census order. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate (sold for $2.00 on May 17, 1935); B.G. Johnson (sold for $20.00); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $23,500.00.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, CONNECT AU58 NGC. M. 15-F, W-2900, R.3. 103.4 grains. Most spelling variants in the Connecticut series are the result of broken punches, or result from the incorrect choice of punches. Obverse die 15 depicts the legend variant with Connecticut abbreviated CONNECT. This spelling is diagnostic for the obverse, and it appears with three reverse dies, each showing a different legend: F (INDE), R (IND), and S (INDL). The first and last have separate listings in the Guide Book. Miller 15-F, offered here, is plentiful. Miller 15-R, offered in the next lot, is extremely rare. Miller 15-S, offered in the following lot, is rare. Reverse F reappears with obverse 32.4 and obverse 50, and both of those varieties are rarely encountered. A trace of rub appears on the high points of the obverse and reverse design motifs on this smooth chocolate-brown and blue-steel copper. Both sides display considerable satin luster. A bold and well-centered strike shows much obverse border detail, and a complete reverse border. The finest known is the Miller-Ford Gem, followed by this example that is a solid census level example. Robert Martin reports two others with Mint State claims, one from the Canfield Collection that is now in the ANS, and another that appeared in the New Netherlands 51st sale of June 1958. . The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC sale had one AU coin and another graded VF to XF; Taylor had examples grading XF and Fine, and Perkins had a VF. 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 @ $35.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $14,100.00.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, Arrows at Date AU58 NGC. M. 14-H, W-2895, R.3. 142.0 grains. Dr. Hall's white edge paint is clearly visible on this example. Both dies appear only on this variety, and nowhere else in the Connecticut series. Reverse die bulges are seen at ET on this attractive near-Mint example. Both sides have lovely olive-brown surfaces with hints of faded mint red and traces of light blue. Minor planchet roughness is evident in the hair details on the obverse, while post-production blemishes are virtually non-existent. The Garrett Collection AU rivals this Eric P. Newman coin. The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC sale had a coin graded VF-XF. Taylor, Perkins, and Ford each had XF examples. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate (sold for $10.50 on May 17, 1935); B.G. Johnson (sold for $15.00); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $11,750.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
