1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-6, Bressett 4-D, W-2020. Rarity-3. VERMONTENSIUM. EF-40 (PCGS).The obverse is struck off center five to 10% at 7 oclock, the date and adjacent devices partially off the flan, but identifiable with patience. The opposing peripheral area on the reverse is also off the flan, but the balance of the surfaces exhibit plenty of bold to sharp striking detail. Dominant medium copper patina, swirls of lighter rose-apricot confined to the obverse periphery. The planchet is uncommonly smooth for a Landscape Vermont copper with minimal pitting and no sizeable flan flaws or handling marks. Highly desirable PCGS-certified EF quality that will appeal to type collectors as well as series specialists.
