1787 Connecticut Brockage of Reverse Z.15 G6

Sharper but scratched and a bit rough with patches of reddish verdigris on both sides. Partly glossy dark olive brown with lighter brown on the devices. This is an incuse brockage strike. One side shows a normal reverse with raised devices struck a bit off center to K-5.5; the other side is an incuse impression of the reverse created by striking against a previously struck piece that was left in the die chamber a bit off center to the top. The result is an incuse impression from the struck coin. Weight 109.3 grains.
