1787 Connecticut Miller 33.9-s.2 R2 Draped Bust Left VG8

Glossy medium brown. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable defect is a tiny planchet void on the rim at CT in AUCTORI. Double struck. The first strike was centered on the planchet. The second strike was 20% off center against the reverse die, and the other side was struck against a new blank planchet that had been inserted into the coining chamber. The doubled impression on the normal reverse is dramatic. Weight 122.1 grains.
