 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.33.39-s.1. R-4. Choice Uncirculated. A remarkable specimen, the finest seen by the cataloguer. The Miller Sale Coin. 135.5 gns. Remarkable pale golden brown in color on both sides with considerable traces of fiery red mint color around the obverse periphery, the effigy's shoulders, the reverse periphery and the branch hand. Some areas darker principally in the fields, these not disturbing. Obverse and reverse surfaces microgranular in appearance. No significant flaws requiring specific mention, no signs of accidental damage. Well centered on both sides, full date. The reverse die breaking from rim down into the field before Liberty's face.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 1990). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
