1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-M, W-2820. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-M, W-2820. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Left, First Laughing Head. AU-55 (PCGS). Handsome autumn-orange brown patina blankets surfaces that also show tinges of light olive. Texture is generally hard and satiny, hint of microgranularity of no concern, several microscopic planchet pits on the reverse also easily overlooked, and just as easily forgiven. There is a tiny spot in the left obverse field, off the chin, but no other mentionable post-production blemishes are seen. Well centered in strike with impressive bold to sharp detail throughout. This is a fairly common variety, but one listed as a distinct type in standard general references such as the Guide Book, increasing the demand. Fortunately, these come nice, although seldom as nice as seen here, and discerning collectors would be wise to take advantage of this scarce offering for a Choice AU Laughing Head. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 358. NGC ID: 2B2W. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Estimate:£0.74
