1786年佛蒙特州风景铜章 PCGS MS 63。124.7 grains. From our (Stacks) October 2003 Ford I sale, lot 19, where it was cataloged as:<em>"<strong>The 1914 ANS Plate Coin</strong>. Both sides are a nice, fairly even olive brown in color. The fields are smooth and show virtually no microgranularity to the naked eye. The devices are exceptionally well struck, with the sun face showing its eyes, eyebrows, nose, the trees showing most of their leaves, and the hills showing stippling detail. Nearly perfectly centered on the obverse, with all the letters of the legend complete and on the flan; the reverse struck markedly off center, to the top, with the tops of QUARTA off the flan and considerable extra metal showing at 6:00.
The obverse flawed at the upper right, RES partially obscured; the reverse a trifle rough, and the die breaking at ARTA. We note that, while the R.6 variety was not plated in Ryders 1920 Vermont monograph, if it had been Ryder would almost certainly have chosen this coin for that slot. The finest of the 122 the cataloguer has seen is the Eliasberg coin which is head and shoulder above everyone elses R.6. There are a handful of 6s in the same grade ballpark as this one, including the one in the 2002 C4 sale and the two Sandy Partridge donated to the Vermont Historical Society and the ANA (the former the nicer one)."</em>Submitted to PCGS after its appearance in that sale, this coin is now one of only three examples of the VERMONTENSIUM <em>Guide Book</em> variety in its entirety to have received a Mint State grade from that service. It is tied with one other MS-63 BN as finest certified therein; the third example is MS-62 BN.,PCGS# 545. NGC ID: 2B57.,,Ex S.H. & H. Chapmans sale of the Harlan P.
