1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. VF-30 (PCGS).116.0 grains. Dark coffee shades are marbled with lighter caramel colors across this delightful piece. Heavily glossed and smooth in-hand, the surfaces remain composed and just negligibly granular under a glass. The reverse shows a softness that is typical of this variety, though the obverse is well rendered, with intricate detail remaining to the portraits hair. The famous RR-13 variety features a Vermont obverse die coupled with a counterfeit British halfpenny reverse that saw heavy use at the Machins Mills minting site. This BRITANNIA type has strong appeal to both VERMONT and Machins Mills specialists and the present example is sure to draw significant interest.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
