1787 VT 1/2P Britannia, RR-13, BN MS (PCGS#800830)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. VF-30 (PCGS). A second example of this perennially popular Vermont copper variety. Several of the letters on the reverse are discernible and the seated figure is well outlined for an RR-13. The date is absent. Obverse detail is overall bold with only the denticulation along the right border missing due to a trivially off center impression. Glossy copper and golden-brown surfaces are microscopically rough in places, generally as made, yet pleasingly smooth with no detracting marks or other significant blemishes. Solid mid grade quality for the die pairing. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. PCGS# 800830. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
