Lot Description

1788 Vermont Copper. RR-16, Bressett 15-S, W-2120. Rarity-1. Bust Right. VF-30 (PCGS). Handsome golden and ruddy-brown patina is seen on both sides of this well centered, overall boldly defined example. The obverse is a bit rough and lightly granular, while the reverse is less so. The obverse displays a prominent flan flaw on the effigy's head. Softness of detail in the centers is typical of this Vermont copper variety, examples of which are popular for type purposes in all grades. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier from our Baltimore Auction of November 2019, lot 4100. PCGS# 563. Click here for certification details from NGC.
