 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.3.2-L. R-4+. Choice Very Fine, nearly Extremely Fine. A far better than average example and one of the nicest seen by the cataloguer. White ink on obverse and reverse. 136.6 gns. Light orange brown on both sides. Surfaces quite rough and laminated in the upper half of the obverse, the reverse showing a long linear flaw through the shield and portions of the globe to its left. Traces of verdigris in most letters on the obverse and on portions of the reverse design. It is unusual to see white ink attributions on both sides of a Connecticut. In this case, the hand seems to be identical on each.
Pedigree unrecorded. Round Circle H collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
