Lot 84
1786 Vermont Copper. Baby head. SEGS graded VG-8. This variety is very rare, and always is found in low grade. The weight is reported to be 101.2 grains on the SEGS holder. We note light pits on the obverse, mostly hidden near the devices, and these blend well into the surfaces. The relief is very low on the coin, the dies simply did not have much definition to them. Minor roughness on both sides, typical of copper, and toned a bit lighter than dark olive. Rare and desirable, even in this grade.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
