1788 Vermont Copper. RR-36, Bressett 10-P, W-2180. Rarity-5+. Bust Right. Very Good, Environmental Damage. 121.2 grains. A legitimately rare variety with perhaps 35 examples known, and almost all seen are in low grade. This is a typical survivor grade-wise but actually more pleasing than some. Lightly granular olive and ruddy-brown with some light verdigris and streaks of darker toning. No major marks, just some natural flaws at the central reverse and a curved planchet clip before VERMON. Solid detail for the grade, a majority of the date and legends are visible, the effigy fully outlined, and the typically weak seated figure partially outlined. A respectable specimen. Ex Sydney F. Martin; Inde Et Lib Fixed Price List #3, August 2018, lot 25.
