 1787 Connecticut copper. MBL. M.10-E. R-5. Technically Extremely Fine. The Miller Sale Coin. 153.5 gns. Light brown save for a patch of iridescent orange brown on the globe and the date. Obverse surface very rough and granular, flawed in the center, at the top, rim ragged. Reverse rough in the center, less rough and still granular elsewhere. Obverse a little off center to the top; reverse off to the lower right. Laconically described by Elder as ''Date off, flan defect. Fine. Rare.''
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 1880). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
