Lot 58
1785 Connecticut Copper. African head. PCGS graded AU-50. An extremely rare coin in high grade, this one is one of two graded as such by PCGS, with none graded higher. Below that only 2 have been graded in EF-40. Certainly a prize for the specialist. The surfaces are slightly rough under magnification, and the coin is toned a medium light brown. One spot on each side of the obverse, both old and not too distracting. With only a handful known in all grades, be sure to view this wonderful example of an early Connecticut copper.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
