Lot Description

1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-2, Bressett 1-A, W-2005. Rarity-3. VERMONTS. Fine-12 (PCGS). This well-circulated medium rose-brown Vermont Landscape copper exhibits light but uniform microgranularity throughout which is not at all unusual for the type or variety. The obverse design is weak at the bottom rim with the date and VER nearly illegible, and the devices at the opposing point on the reverse are also weak with the MA of DECIMA faint, as is STELLA, which is "all there" but very soft in nature. Certainly a suitable example of the variety, the present coin would make a grand entry-level introduction to the fascinating series that is Vermont coppers.
