Lot Description

1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-2, Bressett 1-A, W-2005. Rarity-3. VERMONTS. VF-30 (PCGS). CAC. The warm golden-tan surfaces exhibit some rose-brown highlights. Planchet with faint uniform granularity that escapes the unaided eye and was mostly in the planchet when struck. Obverse die break in full bloom at date and plow above, rim tight to tops of VER, TS weak, natural planchet fissures at VER and the bottom center of the mountains, otherwise no marks of any merit, reverse weak at TA with natural fissures in that area, rim tight to tops of IMA and STE, all-seeing eye details fairly crisp. All told, an attractive Vermont copper. PCGS# 539.
