 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. Goatee break variety. M.6.2-F.1. R-3. Extremely Fine. A second. 137.9 gns. Interesting light brown and pale steel in color on both sides. Quite sharply struck but the surfaces are very granular in appearance and combined with a very late obverse state serve to obscure the detail on the front. The reverse, however is extremely sharp and quite interesting. Light obverse flaw from the rim down to engage the top of the first 'O'; minor reverse rim marks, none significant. Described on its collector's ticket as ''Very Fine. Die broken down face. Well struck.''
Ex S.H. & H. Chapman's sale of July 7, 1904, lot 367. Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
