1785 Connecticut Mailed Bust Right Miller 1-E Rarity-4 VF25. Sharpness near EF40 but covered with fine roughness on all but the highpoints, strongest on the obverse. No verdigris. There are some contact marks mixed in with the roughness on the obverse, including a pair of small digs on the chin and neck and a larger one at TO in AUCTORI. The planchet is free of flaws but there is a minor clip at the shoulder not affecting any of the devices. Rather glossy light olive and chocolate brown. The date is complete and easily readable. Not perfect but still comparable to the two examples in the Perkins (Stack's 1/2000). Listed on pages 60-61 in the "Redbook." Weight 148.8 grains.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
Ex Stack's 3/1993:2082.
