<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 526607, member: 12965&quot;]Going off track again, here is a misattributed colonial cent:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1786-U-S-CONNECTICUT-CENT_W0QQitemZ260365126154QQihZ016" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1786-U-S-CONNECTICUT-CENT_W0QQitemZ260365126154QQihZ016" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1786-U-S-CONNECTICUT-CENT_W0QQitemZ260365126154QQihZ016</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the Connecticuts, there are 2 Draped Bust Left varieties for 1786 and this is not one of them and it&#039;s obvious. First, the hand of Britannia should be directly across from the D in INDE and second, there shouldn&#039;t be three stars/cinquefoils above the olive branch. So this is without a doubt a 1787 and I can even see the date, so that makes it unmistakable. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: The 2 1786 DBL Connecticuts are R-5 &amp; R-7 so it&#039;s clear why this should be properly attributed on the date.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
