 1786 Connecticut copper. MBL. Hercules variety. M.5.3-N. R-2. Extremely Fine. A very nice example. White ink on obverse. 131.9 gns. Dark steel gray on both sides, the color attractive and serving to offset the central devices and legends. Obverse and reverse surfaces microgranular, those on the reverse particularly so. Well centered on both sides, nearly full date numerals show. A nice piece for the grade, essentially flaw and mark free. The second of the three Hercules varieties.
Ex S.H. & H. Chapman's sale of December 16, 1904, lot number unrecorded. Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
