1786 VT 1/2P Baby Head, BN MS (PCGS#548)

The September 2011 Philadelphia Americana Sale

Losbeschreibung: 1786 Vermont Copper. RR-9, W-2040. URS-10. Baby Head. VF-20 (PCGS). Choice for the variety with smooth and somewhat glossy olive-brown surfaces and no circulation marks to note. Strong central details present for the type. We note some natural obverse planchet flaws (as struck), but still far finer overall than the typical Baby Head is apt to be found. Natural flaw at effigy’s neck, another obscures the I in AUCTORI, another in the field below O in VERMON. Reverse flaws (as struck) near Liberty’s neck and shoulder, another tiny flaw near the date. As noted, this is easily the nicest VF Baby Head Vermont copper we have had cross our desks in some time. Another prize from our consignor, <strong>off the market for decades</strong>, this with exceptional eye appeal and solid details. Here is a Baby Head that would do any collection proud!
