Lot 64
1787 Connecticut. Mailed bust facing left, laughing head variety. PCGS graded AU-55. One of the finest graded of this variety, this one with dark brown toning on both sides and generally problem free. We do note the surfaces are slightly rough on both sides, and there is some raised red patina on the upper reverse. Sharply impressed by the dies, and this variety is much scarcer than the Miller 6.1 laughing head variety. A similar example graded AU-50, but of the more common Miller 6.1 Laughing Head variety brought $3,450 in the March 2000 Bowers & Merena sale.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
