LOT 75 1787 Connecticut Miller 1.1-A R3 MBR, Small Head with ETLIB INDE, PCGS graded F15. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel. Fine roughness covers the fields and protected areas and there are traces of fine verdigris. The only mark is an old scratch under the D in INDE. The date and legends are complete and clear. (The reverse of the holder is badly scuffed.) 346.15/16864791

LOT 78 Trio of Connecticut Coppers. Includes 1787 Miller 8-O R3 MBL F15 net G5 for corrosion, 1787 Miller 33.28-Z.16 R5 “Snipe Nose” DBL G4, and 1788 Miller 12.1-F.1 MBL VG8 net AG3 for roughness and a rim dent. Lot of 3 coins.

LOT 76 1787 Connecticut Miller 1.2-C R3 MBR, “Muttonhead,” NGC graded VF30. Choice glossy light brown with olive brown in protected areas. Smooth and free marks or planchet voids, but there are traces of soft verdigris/crud in protected areas. A nice example of this “Redbook” variety, but the NGC grade appears to be a bit optimistic. Our grade is VF20. The Muttonhead” feature is noted on the NGC label. 6488539-001

LOT 77 1787 Connecticut Miller 6.1-M R1 MBL, “Laughing Head,” NGC graded VF30. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Sharp and attractive. The only notable marks are two small rim nicks at the bottom of the obverse and a rim bruise at the T in ET. The date and legends are complete and strong. Struck with the reverse rotated 30 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. A nice example of this “Redbook” type. The “Laughing Head” feature is noted on the NGC label. (Looks more like a smirk to this cataloger.) 4707010-015

LOT 79 1787 Connecticut Miller 17-g.3 DBL G6. Sharpness F15 with a collection of deep dents in the center of the reverse. Otherwise smooth and quite nice with attractive glossy medium brown toning. The date is partial and weak due to the strike being off center in that direction. Weight 137.0 grains. Comes with a nice provenance.
