October 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-8, Bressett, W-2030. Rarity-4. VERMONTENSIUM. VF-20 (PCGS). 124.4 grains. A dark walnut patina dominates the complexion of this lovely Landscape example, accented by lighter burgundy shades scattered throughout. Trivially microgranular under magnification but smooth and appealing in-hand. The center of the obverse shows a bit of weakness typical for the variety, though the balance of devices remain nicely defined. A nicely centered and evenly worn piece. This is a desirable representative of the scarcest die marriage of the 1786 Landscape Vermont copper, most survivors of which are poorly defined and with significant planchet defects. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 545. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
