 1788 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.14.2-A.2. R-5. Extremely Fine, with claims to a higher grade. A superior specimen, one of the nicest seen. The Miller Sale Coin. 120.0 gns. Obverse rich golden brown with a couple of darker patches most noticeable in the left field and on the effigy's neck; the reverse nearly variegated color, mostly golden brown but with areas darker. Obverse and reverse surfaces mostly smooth and hard save for lower right on both sides where the piece is fairly rough in appearance. Additional patch of roughness on the reverse at upper left. Obverse severely off center to the upper left, portions of the first word in the legend either off or partially off the flan; the reverse off center to the upper right, also with portions of the legend running off the flan, the last two date numerals obscure due to the roughness and nearly off the flan as well.
