Lot Title:	Eight coppers
Lot Number:	878
Description:	A group of copper coins of variable origin comprise this offering, and make for a nice introduction to a Redbook collection of early copper pieces. Included in chronological order are: 1723 Woods Hibernia (Fine, exceptionally original), 1751 Britain-George II halfpenny (VG/Fine), 1773 Virginia halfpenny (AU/old cleaning, now somewhat mahogany-blue), 1781 North American Token (VF, lovely original), a second 1781 North American Token (Fine, better pecan-brown coloration), 1787 Connecticut "horned bust" Miller 4-L, late but not terminal die-state (VG to Fine, light but even microporosity and not at all bad looking), 1787 Connecticut Miller 33.5-T.2 (R.5) "skeleton hand" (Fine, but an outstanding caramel-brown planchet that probably makes this coin the jewel of the grouping), and 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee (AU, although the consignor carries this as UNC in his personal inventory, with pretty and slightly glowing mahogany and medium brown patina, with no problems). Eight coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
