This is an "Et Lir" variety. It shows decent details with dark charcoal patina. The surfaces are fairly smooth and not grainy. I don't know the Miller number or rarity, but asume it is a common variety. My guess it is in the F-VF range. What are your thoughts?

I agree with your grade, but imo see some corrosion. Surface looks a little rough, and there is a bit of green stuff on the reverse, so have to go VF details for now. Sorry, no info on variety.

Still trying to pin down this variety with little luck (there are some 350 Connecticut varieties). I will try to research this better later today.
As far as grade I feel that this coin is at least EAC 35 which corresponds to EF-40 maybe even EF-45.
The verdigris spots bother me though as they can only get worse.
All around fantastic piece.
I will try to update later.
