 1787 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.1.3-L. R-6. Very Fine. The finest seen by the cataloguer. 108.7 gns. Light brown with some areas on the obverse ruddy, some on the reverse a trifle orange. Surfaces granular in many places, a little rough in the centers, quite rough on Liberty's legs and in the upper left and right fields. Obverse a bit tight on the flan at right, reverse similar but all design elements essentially on the flan. The variety described on its collector's ticket as ''About seven known.''
Ex John G. Mills Collection (S.H. & H. Chapman, April 27, 1904, lot 263). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
