1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-m, W-2820. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Left, Laughing Head. VF-35 (PCGS).112.60 grains. This is an endearing mid-grade example of the popular First Laughing Head variety of the 1787 MBL Connecticut. The deep cocoa-brown coloration is accented by a scattering of darker walnut patina in the peripheries on each side. The strike is surprisingly uniform for the variety, showing a softness to the reverse legend but remaining otherwise bold. Areas of natural planchet texture show beneath magnification but the complexion appears overall well-composed in-hand.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
