 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.4.4-C. R-3. About Very Fine. A second. White ink on edge in a less elegant hand. 130.1 gns. Fairly even deep olive brown on both sides. Much sharper than the preceding but on a flawed flan, lightly visible in the effigy's hair on the obverse but particularly so on the reverse where the piece is flawed down from top to bottom. Left side soft as usual. Small depression on the effigy's chin may be an old shallow dent. It is clear from this and others seen that more than one collector inked the edges of his Connecticuts with their attribution numbers.
Pedigree unrecorded. Round collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
