LOT 513 1786 Connecticut Miller 5.9-B.1 R5 Mailed Bust Left VG10 . Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Covered with fine roughness mixed with small contact marks including a nick on the chin and a pair of fresh nicks at the waist of the seated figure.

LOT 511 1786 Connecticut Miller 5.8-F R5 Mailed Bust Left VF25 . Glossy light olive and steel brown. Smooth and nearly void of planchet fissures, but the strike is uneven with significant weakness along the left edge on both sides thanks to a thin area in the planchet. Otherwise very nice for the variety. A couple shallow planchet flakes at NN in CONNEC are the only notable marks. The bottom of the date is off the planchet but it remains easily readable. Weight 158.8 grains.
