Tough to say without knowing the variety,[ sorry just haven't had time to work on that]. Assuming it is not an r6 or rarer, with the damage and it looks like some cleaning, I would think it is in the $30 area.

 

How can I figure out the variety?

 

Connecticuts can be tough, and 1787's are the toughest. There are over 350 varieties of all years, and somewhere around 240 1787 varieties. You really can't do it without a good reference, many of the varieties are distinguished only by the slightest difference in the position of a letter or punctuation. It can literally take hours sometimes to attribute one. I'm on my crazy seven day a week work schedule and on call 24 hours a day for the next three months or I'd give it a shot. If I get a chance I'll try, but no guarantee.
