Christy Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 02/14/2009 09:49 am I think this is a Connecticut Colonial, can anyone tell me which one? I've been going through them on coin facts, comparing the ribbon in the hair on the front and the knee on the back, but I can't find it. I know it's terribly worn......

On the obverse at 10 O'clock you can see the IVS for Georgivs. But the pony tail on the obverse is I think different the coin on Coin Archives. Report this Post to the Staff
