Description
1787 Miller 33.34-Z.11 Connecticut Copper, AU55
Among the Finest Known
1787 Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left, M. 33.34-Z.11,
W-3860, R.5, AU55 NGC. Ex: Miller. 123.3 grains. Obverse die
33.34 is known with reverse dies W.2, Z.3, and Z.11. Reverse die
Z.11 is known with obverse dies 33.20, 33.28, 33.33, 33.34, 33.37,
and 33.41. A handful of About Uncirculated examples exist of this
popular die combination, and some are a touch sharper at the
centers than this one. However, few can match this coin for its
Choice surfaces, color, and overall eye appeal. The coin traces
back to Henry Miller's collection sold by Thomas Elder in 1920,
before settling in the Ford collection many years later. Jon Hanson
brought the coin to Donald G. Partrick in 2005. Glossy medium-brown
surfaces retain glints of mint luster - nicely centered within
near-perfect rims - with original eye appeal seldom seen in the
series. Listed on page 32 of the 2026 Guide Book.Ex: Henry Miller (Thomas L. Elder, 5/1920), lot 1985; later, John J. Ford, Jr. (Stack's, 5/2005), lot 416; Jon Hanson (5/10/2005); Donald G. Partrick Collection (Heritage, 11/2020), lot 44328.
