 1786 Connecticut copper. MBL. M.5.7-O.2. R-6+. Very Fine. An outstanding example and the finest seen by the cataloguer. 141.6 gns. Dark green and steel gray in color on both sides, the central devices and letters in the legend lighter against the green background. Obverse and reverse surfaces quite granular but not really rough, those on the back sharper in appearance. Full obverse and reverse legends if a little tight on the flan particularly on the back. Reverse die failing in the upper left field, before Liberty's face.
Ex Charles Steigerwalt in 1890. Round Circle H collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
