Description du lot

1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. VF-30 (PCGS). This is an exceptionally attractive mid grade example of the variety, plentiful in an absolute sense, yet challenging to locate with strong eye appeal. Both sides are nicely centered on a broad, round planchet. The obverse is boldly defined overall, the reverse typically weak around the periphery, yet with suitable outline detail to the seated figure. Blended reddish-brown and flint gray patina, the surfaces quite smooth in hand with only trivial build up that is easily forgiven. For the grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more appealing RR-13. PCGS# 554. NGC ID: 2B5C. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
