This is a 1787 Connecticut Draped Bust Left ... so much should be evident.

I am thinking that the obverse is 33.15 and the reverse is T.2 "Skeleton Hand" (great subject for upcoming Halloween! ), but there is no documented pairing of these dies that I am aware of. I am fairly sure of the obverse, but one detail on the reverse has me stumped: There should be a cinquefoil after ETLIB: (reverse legend), but I don't see one. Perhaps this was due to die filling? Most of the lower-grade T.2 reverse images I was able to find, e.g. on the PCGS site, seem to have a very prominent cinquefoil at that position.

Here is the link to a PDF document which I found very helpful in this detective work:

And here are a couple of pictures of the coin in question:

Thanks for any suggestions!
