 1786 Connecticut copper. MBL. M.5.4-G. R-2. Choice Extremely Fine. A superior example, nicer than almost every other of the 30 specimens the cataloguer has seen. Better than either the Perkins or Taylor coins, nicer than the very pleasing piece in the next lot. White ink on obverse. 143.5 gns. Nice light golden brown in color on both sides. Obverse and reverse surfaces just microgranular, nearly flaw free. The obverse rim ragged at the lower right as made; the reverse beveled at the top. Both sides slightly off center, the obverse to the top and the reverse to the bottom, with date numerals partially off the flan. Described on its round Circle H collector's ticket as ''Shows third colon faintly.''
Pedigree unrecorded. Accompanied by its round Circle H collector's ticket.
