nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 3:27 pm But wait, if I put it on ebay as a rare-r variety, will it actually get a higher price? Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 3:43 pm Rarity 5, so rarer than the average Connecticut copper, but I think the selling point would be that it's one of only two 1786 draped bust varieties. Anyone collecting Connecticuts by major variety needs this coin (the only other draped bust variety for the year has only about seven existing specimens). Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 3:49 pm Vermontensium would be a better judge of whether this coin would carry any premium in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 3:58 pm Nice detective work once again p! As philadelphian said, if your putting together a Miller # collection, this coin would be desirable not so much by preservation, but rarity. There aren't too many of these out there..higher grades, yes..they come at a price however. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 4:25 pm That's what I'd do ;) Put the Miller # and R-5 in your title/description. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15464 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 7:32 pm Tremendous sleuthing work (again) by or resident experts Philadelphian and vermontensium. I always enjoy reading your back and forth ... even though I have zero knowledge on the topics. To the OP ... appears to be a nice find in the junk bin ... best of wishes with the ebay auction.
