 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.37.6-k.4. R-5+. About Uncirculated. An outstanding example, the finest seen by the cataloguer. 143.9 gns. Olive brown obverse, lighter golden olive reverse. Both surfaces microgranular, centers a little rougher, particularly on the effigy's head on the front and the very center of the reverse. Many obverse linear inclusions running diagonally from upper left to lower right which are somewhat off-putting; minor reverse inclusions confined mostly to a peppering in the lower left field. Short linear flaw down from top of the reverse rim engaging Liberty's head. Some rim tics, none really significant. Reverse die failing at the upper left.
Pedigree unrecorded.
