 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.3.3-F.3. R-4. Very Choice Extremely Fine. An outstanding specimen, much nicer than the Perkins coin graded there Very Fine/Choice Very Fine. 155.3 gns. Attractive dark olive brown fields, lighter golden brown high points. Decent sharpness on both sides. Surfaces only microgranular save at the top of the reverse where they appear a little rougher. The obverse rim quite rough at the upper left, flawed at the lower left; the reverse rim rough and lightly flawed from about 7:00 around to 2:00. Described on its collector's ticket as ''Strong impression''.
Ex John G. Mills Collection (S.H. & H. Chapman, April 27, 1904, lot 224). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
