1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-M, W-2820. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Left, Laughing Head. AU-53 (PCGS).112.1 grains. One of the consistently best made die marriages in the Connecticut series, this wonderful golden-brown specimen is about average for the variety, given its choice surfaces, ideal color and trouble-free light circulation wear. Strike is bold and well-centered, a coin that was made with great care and attention to detail. The design is deceptively simple, the devices created with a few simple strokes that outline their low relief. A pleasing type coin befitting even the most persnickety collector’s cabinet.From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex Stack’s Americana Sale of January 26, 2011, lot 5899.
