1786 Connecticut 1/2p M5.5-M W2595 Mailed Bust Left PCGS F15 Twin Leaf

From the Stacks Bowers sale of the Twin Leaf Collection, sold on 03/01/29 as lot #8114 and described as: “1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 5.5-M, W-2595. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Left. Fine-15 (PCGS).  130.3 grains. Microporous but very glossy surfaces give this piece rather nice eye appeal for the grade. There is one small planchet void at the rim, just left of the date, but otherwise the flan is free of such distractions. There are no marks worthy of mention. The dies were a bit misaligned such that AUCTORI, ET LIB and the date are all tight to the rim but the characters are barely affected.  From the Twin Leaf Collection.  Provenance: From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Tom Rinaldo and Stephen Tanenbaum at the 2000 EAC Convention.”  The coin sold for $156 back in 2019, and I purchased the coin from Kevin Vinton on 01/30/25.  PCGS certification# 686354.15/36857298 with “Mailed Bust Left Miller 5.5-M Twin Leaf” listed on the PCGS label.
