 1787 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.16.2-NN.1. R-5. Very Fine. Better grade for one of these. 152.3 gns. Pale golden brown in color on both sides. Surfaces barely microgranular, a little rough on the effigy's neck and in the center of the reverse, just about as expected. The obverse about perfectly centered; the reverse a little off center to the bottom, bases of the date numerals run off the flan. Small obverse rim bruise at 6:30, tiny rim tic to its left; a few very minor reverse rim tics.
Ex John G. Mills Collection (S.H. & H. Chapman, April 27, 1904, lot 284). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
