1787 Connecticut Half Penny. Miller 31.1-gg.1. R-3. Draped Bust Left, ETLIR. PCGS AU-58.

132.5 grains. The Miller number is in white collector ink in left obverse field. Glossy, rich tan surfaces. Original planchet texture is evident. Only minor scattered flan flaws. This is certainly a  high Condition Census piece, which also boasts a great pedigree.  A beautiful example of an ETLIR variety.
