Famous 1786 Connecticut Copper Variety
Hercules Head 1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.3-N. Second Hercules Head. Mailed Bust Left. Rarity-2. VF-35 PCGS. Deep steel-brown with the faintly micro-rough surfaces that are a well-accepted calling card of this variety, which is far more often than not found on planchets wanting in eye appeal. The obverse details merit the grade, this despite some natural planchet roughness at the effigy’s shoulder. The rim is broad to the dexter side, with bold dentils there, though it cuts through ONNEC on the right. The reverse is from the usually seen Middle Die State (MDS): dies heavily clashed from 4 to 9 o’clock at the rim, where the obverse legend is plainly evident; a rare later die state exists with even more severe clashing. Die swelling from the date – which is obscured -- and clockwise through the field across Liberty’s knees to the noon position, with fainter swelling clockwise from that point on. Natural planchet fissures obscure Liberty’s head and the field immediately behind, and the rim cuts through ET LIB. Despite the necessary discourse on the surfaces and other features of this example, those in the know will recognize this coin as a highly acceptable example of a popular Red Book variety.
PCGS #334.
