1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.2-M, W-2825. Rarity-5. Mailed Bust Left, Second Laughing Head. VF-30, Porous.116.24 grains. Uniformly microgranular with areas of porosity mostly through the upper reverse. The complexion is a medley of dark walnut and lighter chocolate shades with patches of green patina in the recesses. Sharp and well defined, showing individual hair strands to the effigy on the obverse and considerable drapery folds on the reverse. A nicely centered example that remains overall appealing despite the surface texture. Miller 6.2-M is by far the rarer of the two Laughing Head varieties in the Connecticut Copper series. Also known as the Simple Head variety from Sylvester Crosbys comment, "a very simple expression."From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
