Description du lot

1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. VF-25 (PCGS). 108.1 grains. A pleasing example of this BRITANNIA type toned in dark walnut shades across each side. The reverse shows the typical softness, revealing the natural roughness of the planchet at the upper right. A similar texture from the planchet shows in the lower obverse just below the portrait's chin. The obverse definition is uniformly bold, with intricate detail remaining to the portrait's hair curls. Rather attractive and without significant abrasions. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 554. NGC ID: 2B5C.
