 1788 Connecticut copper. MBL. M.7-K. R-7. Good/Very Good. The Miller Sale Coin. 137.8 gns. Dark brown verging on black with some unnatural iridescent purple and blue showing. Obverse surface microgranular everywhere, rough and pitted through the upper third; the reverse similar, fairly heavily flawed through the lower half. A couple of reverse rim bruises noted. Rare: the cataloguer has seen only four; Bobby Martin listed seven in 2000.
Ex Henry C. Miller Collection (Tom Elder, May 29, 1920, part of lot 2047). Square collector's ticket accompanies the lot.
