1787 Miller 31.2-r.3 Connecticut Copper, XF45
Draped Bust Left

1787 Connecticut, Draped Bust Left, M. 31.2-r.3, W-3210, R.1, XF45 NGC. Both dies are known only in this combination. Miller 31.2-r.3 is a plentiful variety in the Connecticut series, rated URS-12 in the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins. There are 246 varieties in the 1787 Connecticut copper series, including 18 that are rated URS-11 or URS-12 in the Whitman encyclopedia, equivalent to R.1 or R.2 on the traditional rarity scale. Those 18 varieties are the best choices for colonial type collectors who seek a marriage of quality and affordability. This piece from the Donald G. Partrick Collection certainly handles the quality aspect with its smooth mahogany and olive-brown surfaces that are free of circulation marks, displaying a nicely centered strike with full legends and a bold date. This example will most likely cover the affordability aspect of the equation as well. Listed on page 66 of the 2021 Guide Book.
Ex: Jon Hanson (2/20/1997); Donald G. Partrick.
