1788 Connecticut Copper, AU55
M. 12.1-E, Impressive Mailed Bust Left Coin

1788 CONNCT Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Left, M. 12.1-E, W-4515, R.5, AU55 PCGS. The 1788 Obverse 12 is similar to Obverse 7 for the year, although six-pointed stars decorate this M. 12.1 obverse while the similar Obverse 7 has five-pointed stars. From a technical perspective, this early copper is an exceptional coin for the Choice About Uncirculated grade. Evenly struck medium-brown surfaces are essentially carbon-free and unabraded. A few Mint-made planchet streaks cross the coin, mostly visible on the upper reverse, and the obverse is a bit misaligned toward 7 o'clock -- all minor imperfections for any Connecticut copper. This variety is listed on page 33 of the 2026 Guide Book. PCGS Population for the variety: 1 in 55, 0 finer (3/26).
