 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. Skeleton hand. M.33.36-T.2. R-2. About Uncirculated. A superior example. 144.1 gns. Nice rich brown in color on both sides. Obverse surface microgranular most everywhere, a little rough on the effigy's shoulder and neck; the reverse much rougher in appearance, particularly in the upper left, Liberty's head details mostly fully obscured. Small linear flaw on effigy's cheek, light flaw on Liberty's chin, a few others scattered on this side but none are really important. Both sides a little off center, the obverse to the lower right, the reverse to the top. Parallel horizontal scratches across the reverse are evident.
Ex Tom Elder's sale of November 20, 1915, lot 802. Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
