 1785 Connecticut copper. MBR. M.7.2-D. R-6+. Nice Fine. A better than average specimen of this very scarce variety, sharper in places and a bit nicer than the Perkins and Taylor coins. 138.7 gns. Multi-hued light brown and golden brown with some areas darker around the peripheries. Both surfaces microgranular, almost uniformly so and therefore not very disturbing. Well centered on both sides. Partial date. Light rim burr at the top of the reverse. The obverse die breaking from the effigy's neck towards the right; the reverse state later than seen on the preceding two lots.
Pedigree unrecorded.
