Lot 44
1786 Vermont Copper. Baby head. PCGS graded AU-50. This is the finest graded (by far) according to PCGS, which reports only 3 coins seen. This one alone as AU-50, and 2 others graded between VG and VF. A rare and highly desirable example which boasts a good strike, and a large planchet clip at the top of the obverse missing the top of Liberty's head. On the reverse, there is some red patina on the left side, but otherwise the surfaces are quite nice. This is the Ryder/Richardson plate coin for the variety, and certainly high in the condition census, if not simply the finest known of this famous and sought-after variety. A premium rarity that will no doubt be a highlight in an advanced colonial specialists collection.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
