1785-1788 Connecticut Coppers

Set Description
With over 350 Die combinations Connecticut Coppers offer a range of possibilities when assembling a collection. For this Custom Set I have decided to organize them in accordance with the Miller numbers and the more recently updated Whitman numbers.

Set Goals
With such a great number of options to collect Connecticut Coppers I have opted to focus on a more general study of the coins across the Dates and Die Combinations. My general research will be guided as I acquire from various sources more Connecticut Coppers.
