 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. ET IIB. M.37.8-LL. R-5-. Technically Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated and a superior example for the technical grade. The Miller Sale Coin. 145.5 gns. Rich golden brown in color on both sides. A remarkable coin, the fields suggest a high circulated grade, the considerable loss of definition and roughness give the piece the sharpness of a Very Good to Fine specimen. Obverse fields microgranular only, center rough, almost no definition visible here, letters in the legend sharp however. Center of the reverse almost entirely gone, fields at the left microgranular, elsewhere quite rough in appearance. The obverse well centered; the reverse off to the bottom, bases of the date numerals run off the flan.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 2007). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
