 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.3.2-L. R-4+. Choice Very Fine or better. A second and also far nicer than most others seen by the cataloguer. 134.9 gns. One of the Miller Sale coins. Dark gray brown in color, quite unusual in the series. Both surfaces appear only microgranular and uniformly so and make a pleasing appearance. Good central detail on both sides. Essentially flaw free flan save for a small break at the upper left on the reverse mirrored on the obverse rim at about 7:00. A nice example and an unusual one.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 1805, one of the two offered in the lot).
