grains. This impressive Mint State Connecticut copper is
undoubtedly the finest known 1786 Miller 5.11-R. The 1975 EAC sale
and the Perkins Collection each had an example graded Very Fine,
while VG examples were included in the Taylor and Norweb sales. The
variety was missing from the Oechsner Collection. This lovely piece
has splendid light golden-brown surfaces with some olive
highlights. A dark toning splash appears on the reverse, with a
poorly stabilized corrosion spot just above the exergual line.
Strike weakness is apparent at the upper obverse and lower reverse.
Tinges of faded mint red are noted primarily on the reverse. Listed
on page 31 of the 2026 Guide Book.Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection of Connecticut Coppers (Heritage, 11/2020), lot 44073.
