1787 Connecticut Miller 26-AA R5 Draped Bust Left F12

Rather glossy medium chocolate brown with lighter brown toning on the devices. Mostly smooth with only trivial roughness and no notable marks. A minor planchet clip at the bust (as struck) is a good identifying mark. Struck two times, and neither strike hit the target: one off to K-2 and the other to K-7. Bold evidence of both strikes shows on both sides. A great mint error, one that is obvious at arm's length. And it comes with a nice provenance. Weight 144.3 grains.
