1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. AU Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).；125.7 grains. A premium quality example from the RR-13 dies despite the stated qualifier. Deep golden-brown patina to both sides, the texture universally rough with fine pitting throughout. Obverse impression nicely centered with bold to sharp detail. The reverse is trivially off center to the top, as typically noted for the variety, but the detail in and around the center is exceptionally bold with much of the seated figure appreciable and most letters in BRITANNIA discernible. Accompanied by a collector envelope with the notation: "CONDITION CENSUS: Among the finest known. Superb strike for this variety. No traces of wear."；From the Dr. Gordon Shaw Collection. Purchased from Early American Numismatics, March 1982. Paper envelope with provenance and collector notes included.
