Description

The standard 1788 Connecticut copper with mailed bust facing left. This is among the most commonly available 1788 types, with several die marriages known. The Connecticut copper coinage ended in 1788 when the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and establishment of a federal mint made state coinage obsolete.
