 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.5-F.5. R-4. Very Fine. A third. 139.0 gns. One of the Miller Sale coins. Obverse and reverse fields dark brown, central devices and letters in the legend more ruddy in appearance. Obverse microgranular most everywhere, flawed at the top; the reverse rougher in appearance, heavily flawed below Liberty's feet, the first two numerals of the date obscured. Early obverse state, the break that develops into a line from the chin to the chest is here a single dot.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, lot 1815). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
