1787 Connecticut Miller 16.4-n Rarity-6+.NGC graded VF-30.Steel brown and light chocolate. No verdigris. The planchet is decent but not perfect as there are numerous microscopic planchet striation flakes on both sides. The only contact marks are some extremely faint hairlines on the portrait. Struck slightly off center to K-12 leaving the bottom of the date off the planchet. The legends are easily readable while the date is more challenging but still readable. LDS with a strong radial die crack passing between ON to the back of the head and a small cud break connecting the tops of those two letters. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. An important example of this very rare variety. Better than the examples in the Taylor (B&M 3/26/87) and Tanenbaum (Stack's/Bowers 1/24/12) sales, missing in Ford (Stack's 5/10/05), and comparable to the Perkins (Stack's 1/12/2000) example which was from the early state of these dies. A new discovery that came to us unattributed.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
