1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. AU-55 (PCGS). Richly original surfaces are dressed in a blend of olive, chestnut and autumn-orange brown patina, the obverse a bit more deeply toned than the reverse. Former side boldly detailed despite the fact that the denticulation at left is thin due to less-than-perfect centering. Reverse typically soft for the variety, impression drawn to 12 o'clock, although we stress that the seated figure is well outlined and appreciable. Nice, choice planchet with hard surfaces and no detracting marks. RR-13 is the famous BRITANNIA type, which features a Vermont obverse die coupled with a counterfeit British halfpenny reverse that saw heavy use at the Machin's Mills minting sight. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 554. NGC ID: 2B5C. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
