 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. African Head variety. M.4.1-F.4. R-1. Choice Very Fine. A third. 132.5 gns. Very nice green patination similar to a fine Roman sestertius. The color is even on both sides and serves to accent the sharpness on the coin. Surfaces appear microgranular, particularly on the reverse around the rim, but not really disturbingly so. Reverse rim fairly severely flawed at the upper right, engaging the tops of two of the letters in the legend at that position. Flaw visible on the obverse running through the tops of NEC.
Pedigree unrecorded.
