Lot Description

1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-2, Bressett 1-A, W-2005. Rarity-3. VERMONTS. VG-10 BN (NGC). Original copper brown patina to both sides, the strike tight to the upper left obverse and upper right reverse with some of the design elements in those areas absent. Uneven wear is partially to blame for this feature, although the central design elements and most other peripheral letters are generally bold. Numerous planchet fissures to both sides, especially the reverse, although we stress that these are common to examples of this challenging variety. One of the first two Vermont copper varieties produced (the other is RR-3), examples are scarce and always in demand among series specialists. PCGS# 539. NGC ID: 2B55.
