1786 Vermont copper. Landscape. Ryder-6, W-2020. Rarity-3. VERMONTENSIUM. EF-45 (PCGS).109.8 grains. Another nice example, with chocolate brown surfaces and very sharp details. The obverse is essentially complete, though some letters at the lower left lean into the rim and ONT are not well defined. The reverse is well centered, but DECIMA suffers a bit. A fissure through R of RES creates an arc effect through the sunface, and some more planchet flaws are seen beneath Q of QUARTA. A very handsome example with no major marks, just some well-hidden hairlines between the date and plow above. Quite pleasing for the grade.From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the Numismatic Properties of the Essex Institute, February 1975, lot 24.
