 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. African Head variety. M.4.1-F.4. R-1. Choice Extremely Fine. A superior example, not as nice as Perkins' nor as sharp as Taylor's, but better centered than the Miller plate coin. 129.2 gns. Very attractive, nice golden brown in color on both sides. A really very pleasing specimen, sharply struck on a flan which was fairly well made. Both the obverse and reverse surfaces are barely microgranular and appear somewhat smooth and hard to the naked eye. Rims on both sides a little less than perfect, obverse rough on the top and left, reverse beveled on the right. No disfiguring flaws or marks requiring mention, a really solid example.
Pedigree unrecorded.
