jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 7:06 pm Just picked up 2 colonials in my travels with over 7 hours in the car today. 1. 1787 New Jersey: My best guess is Maris 46-e. Fine details, environmental damage. Thoughts? 2. 1787 Connecticut Draped Bust Left: My best guess is 32.2-X.1. Fine details, corrosion. Thoughts? Thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 8:10 pm Whatever their condition, I always find the colonials to be quite intriguing, and these are no exception. While I have a number of them in my collection, it's the ones with smooth, brown planchets that I most frequently visit. Thus, I've tried to avoid the environmentally damaged coppers more so, as time progresses. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 9:36 pm I think you're right on both attributions! And I think a "distressed look" gives a colonial character. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 12:06 am Just a shame that the condition doesn't do justice to the horse's big, creepy doe-eye on the Maris 46 obverse! Report this Post to the Staff

jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 08:55 am What makes the Connec an X.1 versus X.2? They look so similar that I cannot distinguish a difference. Note: The previous owner of the 46-e called it a Serpent Head. I knew it was not because of the head, although the diagnostics are very similar to 54-k. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 09:16 am Quote: What makes the Connec an X.1 versus X.2? Primarily the position of the numbers in the date. Pay particular attention to the 8. Also minor difference in position of the cinquefoils. Report this Post to the Staff
