1787 CONNECTICUT COPPER COIN
MAILED BUST FACING LEFT
MILLER 6.1M R-3 W-2820
LAUGHING HEAD VARIETY
EARLY DIE STATE IN MID TO HIGH ALMOST UNCIRCULATED CONDITION!
AMAZING STRIKE AND DETAIL!!!
MINTED BY WALTER MOULD AT HIS MORRISTOWN, NEW JERSEY MINT AND ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER CONNECTICUT COLONIAL COINS!!!
THE 1787 "LAUGHING HEAD" CONNECTICUT COPPER IS SUCH AN UNUSUAL DESIGN TYPE THAT IT IS LISTED SEPARATELY IN THE REDBOOK (GUIDEBOOK TO UNITED STATES COINS).
THE NICKNAME CAME FROM THE CRUDE RENDERING OF A REGAL PORTRAIT WHOSE PARTED LIPS APPEAR TO BE LAUGHING.
THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT OBVERSE DIES THAT QUALIFY AS "LAUGHING HEADS".  MILLER 6.1M AND THE 6.2M OBVERSE.  THE DIFFERENCE BEING THE LOCATION OF THE HEADS WREATH IN RELATION TO THE DOT NEXT TO THE "I" IN AUCTORI.  THE 6.1M BEING UNDER THE DOT WHERE AS THE 6.2M IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE DOT!
THE 6.2M IS ACTUALLY A RESTRIKE OF THE ORIGINAL 6.1M OBVERSE DESIGN AND THEREFORE THE DIFFERENCE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE HEAD WITH THE NEW OBVERSE RESTRUCK DIE
BOTH ARE PAIRED WITH THE SAME REVERSE DIE WHICH IN MOST COINS SHOW HEAVY WEAR IN THE CENTER TO WHERE IT IS ALMOST SMOOTH.  TO FIND ONE WITH LITTLE TO NO WEAR IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!!
FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY... ACCORDING TO PCGS'S POPULATION REPORTS, IT SHOWS A TOTAL OF 23 COINS GRADED IN  ALMOST UNCIRCULATED CONDITION.  YOU CAN GO TO THEIR WEBSITE TO FIND OUT THE VALUES FOR EACH GRADE AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED I'M SURE.  THEY DON'T COME CHEAP!!!
IN MY OPINION AND MINE ONLY AND COLLECTING FOR SOME 45 YEARS AND SEEING WHAT HAS COME TO AUCTIONS IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, ONLY SIX HAVE COME TO AUCTION IN ABOUT OR ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (AU) CONDITION AND SOLD IN THE THOUSANDS.  THREE JUST RECENTLY WENT THROUGH A HERITAGE AUCTION IN MINT STATE AND SOLD FOR OVER TEN AND ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.   I BELIEVE THIS COIN TO BE IN MID TO HIGH ALMOST UNCIRCULATED CONDITION BUT YOU BE THE JUDGE ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE IT TO BE! GRADING IS VERY SUBJECTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
I WILL SHIP THIS COIN BY USPS PRIORITY MAIL WITH INSURANCE AND TRACKING FREE OF CHARGE  IN THE LOWER 48 STATES ONLY.  THERE WILL BE A FLAT FEE OF .75 ADDED IF SOLD IN HAWAII OR ALASKA!!! YOU WILL HAVE A THREE DAY RETURN POLICY...IF NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED YOU MAY RETURN THE COIN FOR A FULL REFUND OF THE SELLING PRICE ONLY.   RETURN SHIPPING COSTS ARE PAID BY YOU AND NOT REFUNDABLE.
