1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-6, Bressett 4-D, W-2020. Rarity-2. VERMONTENSIUM. Fine-12 (PCGS). Dominant medium golden-brown patina with splashes of deeper charcoal-olive around much of the obverse periphery, as well as over the upper third of the reverse. The eye in the center on the latter side is exceptionally crisp, central obverse a bit soft, but with the sun largely discernible. The impression is drawn toward the lower left obverse, right reverse, with peripheral detail soft to absent in those areas. Otherwise we note suitably bold definition for the assigned grade with most major design elements readily evident, including the last three digits in the date. The planchet is trivially flawed at lower left obverse, to no great detriment, and while there is a touch of scale associated with the aforementioned deeper color, the surfaces are remarkably smooth in hand for a Landscape Vermont that saw this extensive circulation. A perennially popular RR number for type purposes, represented here by an engaging Fine example. PCGS# 800826. NGC ID: 2B57.
