above). Ex - Early American History Auctions, Inc.'s Mail Bid Sale, August 25,
2001, Lot 1390, illustrated, where it was described as follows: "1788
CT Copper, Miller 16.1-D, Draped Bust Left, Choice Very Fine.
109.3 grains. Rarity 2 (Common). Although the surfaces of this piece are
lightly porous, this piece still appears quite glossy. The reverse shows a
big die cud that looks like a boot over the seated figure's foot. A rather
attractive example that will please most collectors."
