Lot 66
1787 Connecticut Copper. Draped bust facing left, "ETLIR" variety. PCGS graded EF-45. An important coin for the specialist, this is a Guide Book variety and is needed by many collectors. Furthermore, only 2 coins have been graded by PCGS of this variety, both EF-45, there are no others graded higher or lower. As to the strike, it is better than most Connecticuts, we note full lettering and device details, although there is a bit of softness in the strike on the face, and on the central reverse. Remember these are crudely made coins. Excellent surfaces and medium brown in color, with no pitting or corrosion whatsoever. No handling marks worthy of note. We feel this coin deserves a significant premium for its color, surfaces and eye appeal.
Estimated Value $750 - 850.
