 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. ET LIR. M.34-ff.1. R-5. Uncirculated. An outstanding specimen, the finest seen by the cataloguer. The Miller Plate Coin. The Miller Sale Coin. 143.0 gns. Very nice deep brown in color on both sides. The obverse surface is a little microgranular in the fields, smoother and harder in the center; the reverse rougher at upper left, elsewhere just microgranular. There are traces of pale mint lustre visible in some letters, particularly on the reverse at the right. Well centered on both sides, date numerals fully on the flan. Nicely sharp. A remarkable specimen.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 2003). Square collector's ticket annotated as ''Uncirculated'' accompanies the lot.
