 1788 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.16.1-D. R-3. Technically Choice About Uncirculated. 99.8 gns. Fairly even deep brown in color on both sides with some coppery red showing through on the front. Obverse surface quite rough in the center with some loss of definition there, granular at lower left; the reverse quite soft in the center, microgranular everywhere else, quite rough at upper left. The obverse fairly well centered; the reverse a little off to the top but the design details and letters in the legend there are still present on the flan. Fairly obvious planchet cutter clip on the obverse at about 5:30, rim ragged at the top.
Pedigree unrecorded.
