Lot Description

1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-2, Bressett 1-A, W-2005. Rarity-3. VERMONTS. VG-8 (PCGS). 102.5 grains. Deeper chestnut hues at the centers of this VERMONTS example are contrasted by lighter cappuccino shades on the high points and near the border. The complexion is glossy and smooth, and the focal elements remain pleasantly bold at this grade level. A few old blemishes appear on the obverse under scrutiny, though these are long worn into the patina and fail to draw the unaided eye. This is a handsome piece sure to appeal to type collectors and specialists alike. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 539. NGC ID: 2B55. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
