 1786 Connecticut copper. MBL. M.5.6-M. R-6. Very Fine. One of the best seen. 119.3 gns. Deep olive brown on both sides. Obverse surface a little striated linearly down from the rim through the center of the effigy's head ending on the ribbons behind. The reverse rough below Liberty's waist, flawed there, surface a little granular elsewhere. The obverse lack of sharpness due mostly to the sinking of the die there; the reverse soft on Liberty's leg and below IN, due to die failure there, too.
Pedigree unrecorded.
