1787 Connecticut Miller 11.2-K R3 Mailed Bust Left VG7

Sharper but covered with fine roughness under slightly glossy dark olive brown toning. The devices are a lighter shade of brown and chocolate.. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was 30% off center against the reverse die on the reverse and against a new blank planchet on the obverse. The resulting off-center striking pressures created a slight bend in the planchet. There is no date because that area was obliterated by the second strike. An impressive mint error and it comes with a nice provenance. Weight 134.6 grains.
