Description
1788 Connecticut Copper, MS61 Brown
Miller 2-D, Mailed Bust Right
1788 Connecticut Copper, Mailed Bust Right, M. 2-D, W-4405, R.1,
MS61 Brown NGC. The 1788 Connecticut coppers were struck at
Machin's Mills on underweight planchets. Not all of the dies for
the issue were engraved by James Atlee, but both obverse 2 and
reverse D appear to be Atlee's work, per the Howes-Rosen-Trudgen
Machin's Mills reference. This example displays a hint of rub at
the center of the shield. The tan-brown and lavender surfaces
exhibit obverse flan flaws on the hair of the bust, and the C and R
in AUCTORI. A fairly early die state without obverse breaks. The
highest-graded Miller 2-D we have offered at auction, surpassing
the AU55 NGC Eric P. Newman specimen. Listed on page 33 of the 2026
Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 687248, Base PCGS# 397)
