the 1 in the date, a diagonal nick hidden just off the profile of
the forehead, and a faint hairline from ST to OF. LDS, Heck die
state 5, Breen state III late, with a fine die crack through the
tops of NITE in addition to the earlier cracks on that side. A
previously unreported crack near the dentils at S-O is also
present. The obverse of this cent is plated in the 1923 Samuel
Chapman reference on the cents of 1794. Graded VF30 Choice and CC#2
behind the CC#1 example impounded in the ANS collection according
to Noyes, his photo #21450. Bland says VF30 and tied for CC#2
behind the ANS cent. This cataloger's EAC grade is VF30. The
attribution and Newcomb-Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS
Gold Shield label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer in 50.

The author of "The State Coinage of Connecticut" that appeared in the American Journal of Numismatics in 1919, Henry Clay Miller was an educator, broker, and mining researcher. A native of Philadelphia, Miller was born on May 19, 1844, and died on February 6, 1920. Remaining single his entire life, Miller was in a position to pursue his passions. He graduated from Williams College and spent much of the late 19th century in the field of education. An obituary in the May 1920 issue of The Numismatist relates: "The death of Henry C. Miller on February 5, 1920, recalls the intense personality of a man who, a number of years ago, exerted a marvelous influence on a growing generation in matters educational." Material from the Miller collection appeared in four auctions, including his cents and half cents that Thomas L. Elder sold in April 1917, and his Connecticut copper collection that Elder sold in May 1920.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
