1787 Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left, M. 33.1-Z.13, W-3310, R.5, MS62 Brown PCGS. 142.1 grains. An extraordinary example from the Frederick Taylor and Donald G. Partrick collections. Uniform olive and golden-brown surfaces with some cartwheel luster present on both sides. Well centered and evenly struck, with complete legends and punctuation. Only trivial flan flaws are present, with the most apparent as a narrow arc on the reverse border between 4 and 6 o'clock. The Taylor cataloger commented: "To our knowledge this is the finest offered at auction," a comment that applies equally today. Listed on page 62 of the 2025 Guide Book.
Ex: Frederick Taylor Collection (Bowers and Merena, 3/1987), lot 2496; Donald G. Partrick Collection (Heritage, 11/2020), lot 44202.
