Nocreativity2 New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 01/29/2026 9:29 pm Hello, I recently acquired this coin. I think there is enough detail to get the variety but I don't have the necessary references to do so. Any help would be appreciated :) Some info that stuck out to me: Rev - INDE: ET LIB: Obv - AUCTORI: CONNEC: The star by the sprig looks much larger than most examples I can find online.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 01/30/2026 04:51 am It's a 17-g.3 which is a rarity 3 variety. Rarity 3 translates to 201 to 500 estimated examples. These are interesting coins. Do you collect colonial coins? I see you are from Canada, there are some very interesting French colonials that circulated heavily in Canada.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 01/30/2026 4:53 pm One of the few areas where I have any expertise! I should have mentioned though that it is a 1787. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 01/31/2026 04:25 am If you are going to be dealing in these coins I would recommend the book on Connecticut coppers by Randy Clark for your research. It's expensive if it can be found at all, but covers all the information you need to share with your customers. Report this Post to the Staff
