<p>[QUOTE=&quot;l.cutler, post: 26713952, member: 13318&quot;]The Connecticut coinage is a complex but interesting series that also ties in with the Fugio cents.&nbsp; The history of the coins and the coiners reads like a soap opera, involving corporate intrigue, bribing government officials, cheating the government, and finally failure, some of the participants on the run to avoid prosecution and finally, disbursement of the equipment to a mint with questionable business tactics at best.&nbsp; There are around 350 different varieties spanning 1785-1788, as mentioned the 1788 and also some others were unofficially made at Thomas Machin&#039;s mint.&nbsp; These coins are included in the variety count and are collected as part of the series.&nbsp; It&#039;s a deep rabbit hole and a series that could never be completed but it sure is fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
