This appealing 1787 Connecticut Halfpenny, attributed Miller 32.6-x.6 (D B Left) and certified PCGS F15 Gold Shield, is a classic example of America’s early state coinage. Featuring honest circulation wear with clear legends and strong central detail for the grade, this piece offers wonderful character and originality. The desirable Gold Shield holder adds modern authentication and anti-counterfeiting protection while preserving the charm of this colonial copper. Connecticut coppers are endlessly fascinating thanks to their many die varieties, and this D B Left pairing provides collectors with both historical interest and solid collectible appeal at an approachable grade.

Now let’s rewind to 1787—the U.S. Constitution was being drafted, George Washington was on his way to becoming president, and Americans were figuring out how to run a brand-new country without Google or group texts. While powdered wigs were still hanging around, this halfpenny was quietly helping fund tavern tabs and daily trade in a young nation finding its footing. Nearly 240 years later, it’s no longer buying hard cider—but it is telling a great story, proving that even well-traveled copper can grow more valuable with age.
