Undated (1787) Connecticut Copper. Miller 32.5-(aa). Draped Bust Left.

Undated (1787) Connecticut Copper. Miller 32.5-(aa). Draped Bust Left. Partial Strike with Indent. VF-25 (PCGS). A most unusual mint error in the Connecticut series, the only clear portion of the design evident on either side is at right obverse, where the back of the effigy, word CONNEC and flanking cinquefoils and colon are clear. This is opposite an indent from an off center brockage strike, close inspection of which reveals faint portions of a few letters in AUCTORI! The balance of this piece is smooth, flan distended opposite struck portion and indent. The latter may have contributed to the formation of a small planchet crack at upper reverse, that side also with several minor fissures within and before the indent. The struck portion shows enough detail to confirm this as Miller obverse 32.5 for the 1787-dated issue, including the peripheral crack through the final letter C in CONNEC; this die is known in only one pairing, 32.5-aa. Original and pleasing autumn-orange and olive-brown patina is lighter within the indent than elsewhere. What few post-production marks are present are minor and easily overlooked during in-hand viewing. Fascinating piece! Click here for certification details from PCGS.
