 1787 Connecticut copper. MBL. IN DE. M.12-Q. R-3. Extremely Fine. 133.5 gns. Light brown and orange brown on both sides. Decent sharpness for the grade. Surfaces a little rough, particularly on the back, elsewhere just microgranular. Linear flaws down from the rim at the upper left on the obverse and to the field below the effigy's nose, another engages that appendage, elsewhere the fields show signs of severe clashing; the reverse lightly flawed on the rim below the date, at right, several much more shallow flaws elsewhere on this side. The obverse a little off to the upper left; the reverse quite off to the right with a beveled rim at the left. Described on its collector's ticket as ''Extremely fine. Light-olive. Slight planchet streak at 'T' and at 'CONNE' incused letters.''
Ex S. H. & H. Chapman's sale of July 7, 1904, lot 376. Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
