Bust facing right. PCGS graded AU-58. Struck on a slightly rough planchet. Medium brown in color and well preserved. Sharply struck on the bust, and with more central detail than usually seen. Only a trace of wear on the high points, and one of the better examples of this early Connecticut cent known.
