1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-8, Bressett, W-2030. Rarity-4. VERMONTENSIUM. VF-20 (PCGS).124.4 grains. A dark walnut patina dominates the complexion of this lovely Landscape example, accented by lighter burgundy shades scattered throughout. Trivially microgranular under magnification but smooth and appealing in-hand. The center of the obverse shows a bit of weakness typical for the variety, though the balance of devices remain nicely defined. A nicely centered and evenly worn piece. This is a desirable representative of the scarcest die marriage of the 1786 Landscape Vermont copper, most survivors of which are poorly defined and with significant planchet defects.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
