 1788 Connecticut copper. Mailed Bust Right. Small head/Vermont reverse. M.1-I, Ryder 39. R-5+. Good Fine. 108.8 gns. Both sides are fairly typically dark olive brown in color, the centers a little lighter in places. Obverse surface quite rough and granular in appearance, particularly in the center; the reverse smoother, as often seems to be the case with these. Struck on a somewhat misshapen flan, also fairly typical for the variety, the reverse off center to the bottom with only a partial date showing. Pronounced planchet cutter lip at the top of the reverse, clip at about 11:30 on that side.
Ex Henry Chapman on March 17, 1916. Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
