1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 41-ii, W-4235. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left, AUCTOPI, ET IIB. VF-35.，147.8 grains. Beautiful glossy light brown surfaces display impeccable quality and excellent eye appeal. As described in the New Netherlands Coin Companys 60th Sale, "on the whole nicely struck with everything clear and generally sharp; bottoms of the date are off flan. The beautiful surfaces on this choice piece more than compensate for a hardly visible obv. scratch, rim nick, and a hard-to-find edge nick. Popular double error type." Some minor marks can be disregarded. A major variety in the series for its dual misspellings, AUCTOPI and ET IIB, a variety on many want lists but rarely found nice.，From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier ex New Netherlands Coin Companys 60th sale, December 1968, lot 352; Dr. Angus Black Collection; our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, January 2013, lot 11257.
