 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.37.8-k.2. R-5. Extremely Fine. An outstanding example, the finest seen by the cataloguer. The Miller Sale Coin. 144.1 gns. Dark ruddy brown on both sides, the color somewhat unusual. Obverse surface just microgranular, a little rough on the effigy's face but not disturbingly so; reverse rough in the center, granular in the fields. The obverse notably scratched in the left field, the reverse more lightly so across Liberty's waist.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 2009). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
