Description
1788 Connecticut Cent Fine 15 Corroded. Miller 5-B.2, R.6. Small Mailed Bust Right (B-2), struck over a 1785 Nova Constellatio with Script U.S. Some of the undertype can be seen in the center of the obverse with either a punch-mark or deep planchet flaw in the exact center. The center of the reverse was scribed by someone scratching three intersecting lines into that side. Moderate evidence of corrosion. Attributed in white ink in the left obverse field, a common practice around the turn of the century. Possibly even scarcer than the R.6 designation. Described by Breen as "very rare," and Bowers indicated in their 11/89 auction that they were aware of only 10 examples. It appears that VF is the highest grade ever offered. Listed on page 42 of the 1999 Guide Book.
