 1788 Connecticut copper. DBL. M.16.4-L.2. R-5+. Choice Very Fine. A superior example, the second finest seen by the cataloguer. The Miller Plate Coin. The Miller Sale Coin. 104.4 gns. Nice rich and fairly even olive brown color with a few light traces of light purple. Obverse and reverse surfaces microgranular everywhere. The obverse slightly off center to the upper left, the reverse a bit off to the lower left, the date numerals run off the flan. The obverse rim a bit ragged as made at upper right; the reverse a little misshapen at lower right. A couple of reverse rim marks, one bruise above Liberty's head.
