1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.2-M, W-2825. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust

1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.2-M, W-2825. Rarity-5-. Mailed Bust Left, Second Laughing Head. AU-50 (PCGS). 125.3 grains. Miller 6.2-M, also known as the Simple Head or the Second Laughing Head, seems inordinately rare in comparison to its 6.1-M doppelganger, considered Rarity-1. This example is sharply struck and well centered, its glossy surfaces equal parts ruddy, earthy brown and deeper olive-brown. A few minor planchet depressions in right obverse and reverse fields are easily overlooked, with a single large one noted below second letter N in CONNEC that serves as an easily recognizable provenance marker. Here is a coin with ideal color and surfaces that make it an obvious choice for inclusion in the collection of a particularly discerning numismatist. Provenance: From the John Bolger Collection. Earlier ex Norman Pullen, March 1977; Robert M. Martin; our sale of the Robert M. Martin Collection, November 2019 Baltimore Auction, lot 5124; Anthony Terranova, August 11, 2021. A Clark reverse plate coin. PCGS# 686409. BASE PCGS# 358. NGC ID: 2B2W. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
