Pep, that appears to be a Miller 1 obverse but the reverse for Miller 1 is E and that looks awfully like a G reverse. I have not seen a Miller 1-G so your piece (which was already scarce) may in fact be a mule which would make it extremely scarce. Beautiful coin.

Here is my Massachusetts cent from 1788 (NCG VF20):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I think this is a Miller 6.3 obverse (notice the colon in CONNEC: rather than CONNEC.), with a Miller G.1 reverse. This is one of the most common varieties. Edited by pepactonius

Somehow I managed to miscount my days and so was kinda thinking that I would be posting my absolute fave tomorrow. I hope that no one minds if I double-post today so that instead I can add a third Shilling to today's eye candy (PCGS VF30):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
