Attributing a 1787 CT copper.....

One of the things to do with CT coppers is attribute them using the Miller book.

Well... I have the Miller book but this coin is escaping me....

It looks to be an "AUCTOPI" obverse but the reverse has

❀ INDE:❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ET LIB:❀

And I cant find an Auctopi obv with that reverse... maybe it is right there and I am being stupid... (most likely)

Anyone good enough at this to know which Miller variety it is?

Thanks
Gary

One note to add.... in the scan you can see the stem in the R more clearly than in the hand... it looks more like AUCTOPI in hand.. maybe that is where I am messing this up...

 

I think it is 33.19-Z.2 but not positive. Check it out closely, I may have time to look later.

 

I think you nailed it....

 

@l.cutler Many thanks to you BTW.... did you just whip that up out of your head?

 

No, I have the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American coins. I did recognize it as one of the 33 obverses though. Those and the 37's are the ones that always give me a hard time.
