Lot Description

1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-4, Bressett 3-C, W-2015. Rarity-4. VERMONTIS. VF-20 (PCGS). CAC. The medium golden-tan surfaces offer some deeper toning in the protected areas. Some natural fissures and faint porosity are seen on the obverse, as struck and not at all unusual for the design type, rim tight to tops of TIS, bulge obscures much of RES and the following P, reverse weak at IMA, rim tight to tops of STELL, natural fissures and faint porosity present, as struck, small five-pointed star scratched into the surface between QUARTA and DECIMA, evidently overlooked by the grading service. All things considered, the present Vermont copper is a choice representative of the grade and variety combination. PCGS# 542.
