1787 Connecticut 1/2p M4-L W2810 Horned Bust PCGS EF45

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set.  1787 Connecticut copper 1/2p, M4-L, W2810, Horned Bust, R1.  This coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS as EF45, and it’s a very nice, original example for the grade.  Struck off-center toward obverse K9, such that most of AUCTORI on the obverse and about 50% of INDE on the reverse never made it onto the planchet.  That part that did get struck, however, are bold and attractive, including a well-detailed portrait, bold Horned Bust feature, and even a strong date on the reverse.  This is an easily recognizable and well-known Redbook variety, and quite a common variety so it’s easy to find nice examples like this one.  Purchased from RUATWINCOIN on 01/21/25.  PCGS certification# 364.45/20763176.  PCGS Price Guide value $935.
