Lot Description

1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-6, Bressett 4-D, W-2020. Rarity-3. VERMONTENSIUM. Fine-15 (PCGS). Bold charcoal-copper patina engages the viewer from both sides of this overall sharply defined example. The upper obverse and reverse borders are virtually devoid of detail, the date half off the flan and otherwise faint. A bit rough in texture with microscopic pitting, a moderate obverse flan flaw within the mountains at left is also noted. With uncommonly sharp central detail for both the type and the assigned grade, this is a pleasing Fine for the challenging Landscape Vermont type that is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders. Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Acquired from Mary Sauvain, February 1993. PCGS# 545. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
