Lot 110
1788 Vermont Ryder-16 Rarity-1 VF35. Choice glossy light olive and chocolate brown. A beautiful example, essentially flawless, especially for a Vermont copper. The only defects, and they are trivial, are a minor planchet clip affecting the dentil roots above the head (as struck) and a tiny pinprick in the field over the outstretched arm of the seated figure. There are some shallow planchet chips in the centers where there was not enough planchet metal and striking pressure to fill out the dies, as usual, but the areas affected are small. A beautiful Vermont copper, about as nice as they ever come. Listed on page 72 in the "Redbook." Weight 98.1 grains.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
