1787 Connecticut 1/2p M38-GG W4205 AUCIORI PCGS VF35 Draped Bust Left R4

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set.  Sold as a raw EF in the Stacks Bowers sale of 02/03/22, lot #92070 where it was described as: “1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 38-GG, W-4205. Rarity-4. Draped Bust Left, AUCIORI. Extremely Fine.  137.5 grains. Weakly struck at the lower left obverse and corresponding area of the reverse, but otherwise this is a lovely Choice EF with attractive light brown color, no marks, and just a single thin planchet flaw on the reverse. The important AUCIORI legend is clear with weakness only at AU.”  The coin sold for $840 in that auction and was subsequently sent to PCGS for grading, where it was assigned VF35 most likely because of the uneven strike.  I purchased the coin from RUATWINCOIN on 01/21/25.  PCGS certification# 687280.35/45029099, with "AUCIORI, Miller 38-GG" on the label.
