1787 Connecticut Copper Miller Reverse Z.15 Brockage Rarity-8 PCGS Fine Details

Description

An amazing coin from Colonial times, this 1787 Connecticut Copper is a Miller Reverse Z.15 Brockage, Rarity-8. It has been graded, Fine Details Damage,
by PCGS and placed in a Gold Shield Holder.
126.8 grains. Just 15 of the 55 Connecticut Copper brockages documented by Randy Clark and Robert are reverse brockages, or just over 1 in 4. This one displays a good, centered brockage impression with a full, crisp date. Steely golden brown with brassy highlights, this coin’s surfaces show some light cleaning and old microporosity, with a horizontal planchet lamination in upper left field of the die struck side. A rare example of a reverse brockage in the Connecticut series.
Another 1787

The auction lot tag and collector envelope will be included with this beautiful coin.
