1788 Vermont Copper. RR-25, Bressett 16-U, W-2195. Rarity-3. Bust Right. VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).，Deep olive-copper surfaces show some areas of lighter medium brown over the central devices. The strike is nicely centered on a somewhat ovoid planchet. The obverse denticulation is nearly complete, while the reverse periphery is a bit soft but with all lettering discernible and the date clear. The texture is overall rough explaining the PCGS qualifier. There are shallow planchet pits in the centers (especially on the reverse), but there are no significant handling marks. For the assigned grade, the appearance of this coin is remarkably pleasing, and solid bids are encouraged. Probably half or more existing Vermont coppers could get a PCGS disqualifier; perfection is elusive! (If you want perfection, buy modern Mint coins sold at a premium; virtually all are MS-70 or Proof-70; a coin at the 68 level would be a rarity!)，PCGS# 563. NGC ID: 2B5D.，，From the LJV Philadelphia Collection. Earlier from Pine Tree Auctions FUN Sale of January 1978, lot 43. Lot tag included.
