Lot Description

1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-6, Bressett 4-D, W-2020. Rarity-2. VERMONTENSIUM. Fine-12 (PCGS). 117.26 grains. We note a particularly well centered, if unevenly worn obverse for this predominantly medium brown Landscape Vermont. The reverse is struck off center to 1 o'clock. There is considerable softness/lack of detail at the lower left obverse and in the opposing area on the reverse, although other areas retain appreciable boldness. The plow is fully discernible, if faint at left, while the sun, mountains and tress are crisp for the grade. Glints of charcoal-olive in the protected areas are associated with trivial surface scale, so trivial as to have little effect on the generally pleasing appearance of this piece. Provenance: From the Rancocas Creek Collection. Collector envelope with attribution notation included. PCGS# 545. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
