Lot Description

1787 Vermont Copper. RR-14, Bressett 10-K, W-2105. Rarity-3. Bust Right. VF-30 (PCGS). 130.8 grains. 130.8 grains. A pleasing medium tan specimen with a nuance of chestnut in the recessed areas. Sharp and attractive for the grade, with some small, natural flan flaws at the center, the only appreciable marks save for a few tiny rim bruises on each side. An altogether delightful example of the more readily available virgin flan variant of RR-14. Though they took separate paths, Dr. Hinkley's top two RR-14s have been here reunited in the offering of Syd's front-line collection of Vermont coppers. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Dr. Robert I. Hinkley Collection, November-December, 2001, lot 2352; Jack Wadlington; Anthony Terranova; Stack's Rare Coins, January 2008. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
