1787 Vermont Copper. RR-12, Bressett 11-K, W-2110. Rarity-4. Bust Right. AU-50.96.4 grains. An exceptional survivor from this scarce die pairing. The patina is dominated by chocolate brown hues, though pinkish color in the fields suggest an old cleaning. In spite of this, the complexion is left glossy and pleasant in-hand, free from any distracting hairlines. The centers show the usual softness and a natural flaw in the planchet runs from the cheek of the obverse portrait down to the shoulder. An undersized planchet causes much of VERMON to be trimmed at the edge, while the date retains only the very tops of the digits. Near the lower end of the Condition Census in terms of sharpness, if not just barely in at the very bottom of the list. Most survivors are in far lower grades and the variety is quite elusive above VF.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
