1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-4, Bressett 3-C, W-2015. Rarity-4. VERMONTIS. Fine Details--Damage (PCGS).85.4 grains. A crudely produced example of this scarce variety struck on an irregular planchet but displaying considerable detail in the peripheries. Much of the central landscape motif is soft or unrendered, though most of the legend, including virtually all of VERMONTIS, remains bold. The reverse shows a similar obscurement to a portion of the rays and stars, while the left side of that face appears well struck. Natural planchet texture is visible in most areas, and an old scrape shows under inspection at the lower reverse border. This is only Vermont variety to feature the VERMONTIS spelling in the obverse legend and is subject to heavy demand in all grades.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
