 1786 Connecticut copper. MBL. M.4.1-G. R-3. About Uncirculated. A superior specimen, the second finest seen by the cataloguer, nicer than the Perkins coin. The Miller Sale Coin. 129.4 gns. Lovely rich pale olive brown in color on both sides, the shade a little lighter across the lower right half of the reverse. Obverse and reverse fields mostly smooth and hard with just minor granularity visible on the upper right on the obverse and lower right on the reverse. Good central sharpness particularly for the strike and grade. A scuff in the left obverse field, small old pin scratches in the right.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 1835). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
