From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set.  From the Stacks Bower’s Collector’s Choice Online Auction, sold on 05/20/25 as lot #92100 and described as: “1786 Connecticut Copper. Miller 3-D.1, W-2510. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust Right, Scholar's Head. Fine-15 (PCGS).  146.9 grains. The Scholar's Head is somewhat more available than the Noble Head that precedes it, but still quite scarce in its own right and most often found in low grades and/or impaired. A minor flan flaw on the bust is noted, and there is a tiny mark in the upper right obverse field, but this an otherwise smooth example at the certified Fine-15 level that presents uncommonly well for the variety,   Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Americana Sale of January 2001, lot 67.”  I purchased the coin out of this online auction at $2,520.  PCGS certification# 686825.15/50989135 with “Scholar’s Head, Miller 3-D.1” on the special Sydney F. Martin Collection label.
