Lot Description

1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-8, Bressett 6-E, W-2030. Rarity-4. VERMONTENSIUM. VF-20 (PCGS). Marbled golden-copper and deep brown patina to both sides, the surfaces a tad rough overall, yet uncommonly smooth in hand for an example of this conditionally challenging type. The planchet quality is also superior in a Landscape Vermont, there being no significant flaws. Generally well centered in strike, although the upper left obverse border is flush to the lettering, only at the plow and in the opposing area on the reverse do we note appreciable lack of detail. A tiny dig in the obverse field between RES and PUBLICA is noted. A popular variety of the type, represented here by an above average mid grade survivor. PCGS# 545.
