An ET LIR variety. Attractive glossy light to medium brown. Looks smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals traces of microscopic roughness in a few places. The only notable planchet flaw is a chip just left of the waist of the seated figure. Nicely struck except for weakness at the top of the head, CO in CONNEC, and on the lower part of the seated figure. The date is strong but is tight to the edge of the planchet, and the legends are mostly bold. Clear doubling is evident on both sides, strongest along the profile on the obverse. The variety attribution is written in light yellow ink as 33-37/G2.2 on the head, a method of marking used by Connecticut collector William Wallace Hays (although he misattributed the obverse on this one). In addition there is a small "3" written at the shoulder (the estimated rarity rating) and a larger "52" in red on the lower part of the seated figure. Weight 133.3 grains. A very nice piece, superior to the Taylor and Perkins examples, and it comes with a great provenance. The attribution and Robert M. Martin Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
