 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.37.9-e. R-5+. About Uncirculated. An outstanding example, the finest seen by the cataloguer. The Miller Sale Coin. 146.1 gns. Rich olive brown on both sides. Obverse fields microgranular, the center a little rough, the right field with some roughness below EC. The reverse fields microgranular, a little rougher at the upper right.
