TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 12:18 pm This was sold as 1786 Colonial. Because it is so worn I am not sure it is attributable, but I figure if anyone can it will be you colonial guys here on CCF:) I am thinking the LIB on the reverse may be helpful? I have been looking without any luck at the 1786's in my bowers book and am questioning the 1786 attribution from the seller. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 2:43 pm Thedollarman, I am now convinced that that it is a 1787. I am thinking this has got to be a INDEET* (on left)/ *LIB (on right). I am working on which one. Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 2:58 pm Could the reverse be Miller B? The B of LIB is distant and I think I see a ribbon under the left elbow? Also, there is a non-uniform line connecting between the staff & shield. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 4:49 pm CK, I have seen miracle workings of V, P, A, and others. I am trying to duplicate their miraculous powers! BTW, anyone want to give a grade? I forgot to ask. While am probably flailing wildly. The LIB right really narrows down the possibilities! I am going to go with W-2755 (Miller 2-B), because: The B of LIB is distant and tilted. The location of the D in INDE. I see a ribbon under the left elbow. The line connecting between the staff & shield is flattened. For the obverse their is only one mailed bust to choose from for the Miller B reverse. I am seeing the closed last C of CONNEO giving the Legend diagnostic. I am sure the experts will be along to set me straight. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 5:06 pm Connecticut's are not my bag but I can see Miller 2B. Certainly looks to be no cinqfoils, dashes,arrows et al. on the INDE ET/LIB or on the obverse AUCTORI/CONNEC. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 6:03 pm 2-B all the way; good job, TJ! He got it first, since the B reverse is practically unique to that variety. Edited by philadelphian 12/01/2013 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
