- Pleasing Miller 6.1-M Laughing Head The Frederick Taylor Coin 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 6.1-M, W-2820. Rarity-1. Mailed Bust Left, Laughing Head. AU-50 (PCGS). 120.9 grains. Handsome mahogany and deep chestnut tones on the obverse give way to darker steel brown on the higher points. The reverse is fairly uniform olive brown. Hard and glossy surfaces with a few natural deposits caked into some of the finer recesses and just a couple of tiny marks near Liberty's head. A fairly common variety, but one listed as a distinct type in standard general references such as the Red Book, increasing the demand. Fortunately, these come nice, as seen here, and many collectors can enjoy a really nice filler for the type or variety. Nearly perfect obverse centering with the reverse shifted just slightly toward 7 o'clock. Evenly struck with good detail throughout. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Frederick B. Taylor Collection, March 1987, lot 2405; Mike Wierzba, April 2017. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
