 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.33.38-Z.1. R-5+. About Uncirculated. A superior example. The Miller Sale Coin. 136.8 gns. Deep olive brown in color on both sides. There are traces of mint red around the top of the obverse and on Liberty's branch hand. Obverse surface quite rough in appearance, fields granular but centers rougher, flawed, one deeply into the flan below the effigy's ear. The reverse flawed in the center of Liberty's figure and in the upper right field. Both sides a little off center, but the date numerals are fully on the flan. Struck from late states of the dies, accounting for much of the evident roughness.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 1993). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
