- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left MS61 Brown NGC M. 5.4-G, W-2580, R.2. 154.3 grains. A second and even finer example of the Miller 5.4-G, this piece is almost certainly the finest surviving example from these dies. The centering is excellent, with the date and all legends complete. A lustrous olive and chestnut-brown example with a small area of maroon patina on the reverse, this impressive piece retains hints of faded mint red on both sides. Mint State Connecticut coppers, even from common die pairs, are extremely rare, and bidding opportunities are infrequent. 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 @ $20.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $18,800.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left AU58 NGC M. 5.4-G, W-2580, R.2. 151.2 grains. While plentiful overall, the Eric P. Newman example of Miller 5.4-G is finer than most others we have seen. The 1975 Pine Tree-EAC coin was described as VF to XF, and the Taylor Collection coin was graded VF20. That coin reappeared in the Perkins sale with the grade of Choice Fine. The Newman coin is clearly finer than the Choice XF Ford piece. Both sides have old orange color, blended with attractive bluish-brown patina. The surfaces are smooth and problem free, with excellent eye appeal. This example ranks high in the Condition Census, and it is likely the third or fourth finest survivor from these dies. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,400.00.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, Hercules Head Fine 12 NGC. M. 5.3-N, W-2575, R.2. 117.3 grains. This late die state shows annular sinking of the reverse die, and that is diagnostic for Reverse N. Obverse 5.3 was used with three reverse dies. The others are Miller 5.3-B.2 with three known, and Miller 5.3-G, offered above, with four known. Reverse N appears here and also with obverse 5.4. This moderately worn example has smooth chocolate-brown surfaces, showing mahogany highlights. Both sides are smooth and problem-free. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,762.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, Hercules Head XF45 NGC. M. 5.3-G, W-2570, High R.7. 132.7 grains. Dr. Hall's white edge paint appears on this piece at 7 o'clock relative to the obverse. Miller obverse 5.3 in the 1786 series is the Hercules Head that is known in combination with reverse dies B.2, G, and N. It is only plentiful with reverse N, as the other two die combinations are each called URS-3 (three to four known) in the Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia. Reverse G is found with obverse dies 4.1, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.7. We are aware of the XF ANS coin, the porous VF example that appeared in the 1975 Pine Tree-EAC Sale, the Robert Martin Fine, and this example from the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. There are 41 known varieties of 1786 Connecticut coppers, not including the Bungtown coppers. The Taylor Collection included 35 different varieties; the Perkins Collection, 34; and the Ford Collection, 30. All were lacking the 1786 Miller 5.3-G copper. Eric P. Newman's 5.3-G appears to be the finest known, slightly finer than the ANS specimen, and clearly finer than the 1975 EAC coin, or Martin's example. This impressive chocolate-brown copper has obvious planchet roughness on both sides, although lacks any post-production defects. A splendid piece showing only microscopic surface granularity on the reverse. This offering provides the advanced collector the chance to acquire a die marriage that eluded Taylor, Perkins, and Ford. Ex: Dr. Thomas Hall; Virgil Brand; Brand Estate (sold for $3.00 on May 17, 1935); B.G. Johnson (sold for $7.50); Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $99,875.00.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left AU50 NGC. M. 4.1-G, W-2525, R.3. 137.3 grains. Although this plentiful variety survives to the extent of about 250 to 300 pieces, few are equal to the Eric P. Newman copper. The 1975 EAC Sale coin was described with XF details in some places, VF in others. The Taylor Collection coin was graded XF45, and the Perkins specimen was called Choice Extremely Fine. The Ford coin, originally from the Henry C. Miller Collection, is similar to the present coin. We consider this piece to be the fourth finest Miller 4.1-G copper. Traces of mint frost remain on the olive-brown surfaces, with a splash of maroon patina at 10:30 on the obverse. The reverse retains more mint frost than the obverse, with insignificant planchet flaws along the reverse rim at 1 o'clock. As usual for the die pair, the strike is weak in places, and that is certainly apparent on the reverse figure. The 4.1 obverse was also used with reverse C. The reverse die appears here and with three other obverse dies, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.7. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,585.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, Scholar's Head VG8 NGC. M. 3-D.1, W-2510, High R.5. 140.4 grains. There are only five obverse dies of 1786 Connecticut coppers that have the bust facing to the right, and each has different punctuation, simplifying attribution. Obverse 3 is known as the Scholar's Head, a nickname apparently originating with Michael Hodder in the Perkins catalog. This obverse appears with reverse D.1 as offered here, and reverse D.4 with only three known. The D.1 reverse appears nowhere else in the Connecticut series. This pleasing piece shows the legend, date, and major design elements with traces of internal detail. The surfaces are smooth steel-brown and mahogany. Nearly every major collection offered in recent times, including the 1975 EAC sale, and the Taylor, Perkins, and Ford Collections, included an example of this variety that grades only Very Good to Fine. The piece plated in the Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia, showing approximately Very Fine details, is one of the finest we have seen. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,997.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
