1786 Connecticut Copper. Mailed Bust Left. Hercules Head. M.5.3-N.2, W-2575. Rarity-2. Fine-15 PCGS.

Medium chocolate-brown throughout with solid details for the grade. Reverse from a sinking die with swelling in the fields the result. No serious marks of any sort are noted other than some tiny reverse fissures at 4 and 5 o’clock, in the planchet when struck. Double-struck, though not previously noted, or perhaps overstruck, as the row of dentils that underlines AUCT on the obverse is flat and elongated unlike most dentil styles in the Connecticut copper series. A bold and raised U and C are in the field below TOR. On the reverse, the same sort of elongated dentils run from 8 to 11 o’clock, though they are partially obscured by the severe bulge in that area. Some incused lettering is seen from 8 to 11 o’clock. We only wish we had more time to study this one! Add this unusual and attractive Hercules Head error copper to your collection.
