1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-7, Bressett 5-E, W-2025. Rarity-4. VERMONTENSIUM. EF-40, Granular.109.1 grains. Sharply defined and overall attractive, though showing a uniformly granular texture to the surfaces on each side. The complexion remains glossy, dominated by olive gold color at the centers and darker espresso patina in the peripheries. The obverse is slightly drawn towards 9 oclock, trimming the middle third of VERMONTENSIUM at the rim. A shallow planchet clip is hangs just above the letter "V" though leaves it entirely intact. A bit soft at the lower left but sharp elsewhere, with strong denticles at the right border and a nicely defined sun peeking over the intricate landscape. The reverse is also misaligned to the left but the legend is essentially unscathed. Sharply struck throughout that side, with variations in the planchet visible in the upper left field though the stars and rays.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
