- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, Muttonhead VF25 NGC. M. 1.2-C, W-2720, R.3. 123.5 grains. The Muttonhead copper is one of the most famous and popular varieties in the Connecticut series, and it is also one of the most plentiful. The term Muttonhead expresses a low opinion of a person's intelligence. This example is the typical late die state with the U and the right half of the O in AUCTORI weak, and with most of CONNEC weak or absent. Both sides are attractive with a combination of golden-tan, steel-brown, and mahogany patina. A few ancient scratches and microscopic granularity do little to diminish the eye appeal. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,057.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, Small Head Fine Details, Environmental Damage NGC. M. 1.1-VV, W-2710, High R.6. 118.8 grains. This is the only appearance of the reverse die, and only about a half dozen exist. The variety was discovered by Dr. Thomas Hall about 1897. Selected examples include the VF Ford coin, the Fine example in the Taylor Collection, a VG to Fine example in the 1975 Pine Tree-EAC sale, this piece, the VG Norweb discovery coin, and the Good ANS specimen. Robert Martin reports 14 known of the Miller 1.1-VV. Both sides of this dark olive and steel-brown example show lighter brown on the devices, with old scratches and corrosion. Ex: Gift of Jerry Tralims, Hialea, Florida (1965); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $5,581.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, Small Head, ETLIB INDE VF35 NGC. M. 1.1-A, W-2700, R.3. 129.6 grains. The obverse die appears here and also with reverse VV in the next lot, and it reappeared as obverse 1 of 1788. The reverse die is unique to this die pair. Obverse 1.1 is known as the Small Head, and it has a distinctive appearance unlike any of the other four 1787 obverse dies with a right facing bust. The reverse has ETLIB to the left, and INDE to the right: the only such occurrence among 1787 Connecticut coppers. Shy of the Condition Census, the Eric P. Newman specimen is finer than most examples, with smooth olive-brown and golden-tan surfaces, showing deeper green patina on the reverse. Ex: New York Coin & Stamp Co. (6/1903); Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate; B.G. Johnson (sold for $20.00); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $3,525.00.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left AU58 NGC M. 7-K, W-2695, R.7. 149.7 grains. In the 2000 catalog of the VF Perkins coin, a reappearance of the first Taylor specimen, cataloger Mike Hodder writes: "Dr. Hall owned one he graded Fine, but which one was that?" We now have the answer as the present coin clearly displays Dr. Hall's white ink marking on the edge. This is the Crosby plate coin and it is far finer than any of the few other pieces that are known. The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin was graded Almost Fine, and the cataloger wrote: "Even in this grade, it is one of the finest known, exceeded in our experience only by the sharper Crosby Plate coin, but considerably better than the Miller Plate coin." That coin reappeared as lot 2389 in the Taylor sale with the grade of VG. The Perkins coin, previously lot 2388 in the Taylor sale, grades VF, and it was called second finest known behind the ANS example. Ford's front line coin, from the Henry C. Miller Collection, was graded VG to Fine, but is clearly lower grade than the others mentioned here. This impressive piece is undoubtedly the finest known, and provides the present generation of Connecticut specialists with an extremely important opportunity. Both sides have lovely light olive-brown color, with a dash of emerald patina on the seated figure's breast. Only a trace of wear is noted on the high points. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate; B.G. Johnson; Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $38,187.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left XF45 NGC. M. 5.9-Q, W-2645, R.5. 132.7 grains. This Choice XF copper is an attractive example of the scarce Miller 5.9-Q die pair. The obverse is also found with reverse dies B.1 and L, and all three varieties are elusive. The Q reverse makes no other appearances in the Connecticut series. The obverse has a linear planchet flaw from the nose, across the cheek, and eventually to the border at 4 o'clock. A reverse rim break is noted on LIB. The finest known example grades AU and appeared in the Oechsner sale. The second best is the AU coin that appeared in the Norweb sale, and that piece is followed closely by the present coin from the Eric P. Newman Collection. After those three, the census drops sharply down to coins grading Very Fine or lower. This lovely piece has pleasing golden-tan and olive-brown surfaces, showing peripheral planchet roughness and a few post-production blemishes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,820.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
