Lot 1248
1786 Vermont. "Vermontensium". Ryder-7, Rarity-2. PCGS graded AU-55. Glossy brown, with some of the nicest surfaces you'll ever see on a Vermont Copper. Struck on a defective planchet, with a big void on the left side of the reverse. This prevented the metal from flowing into the deepest recesses of the dies, thus the left side of the obverse is also weak. Struck slightly off-center towards 5:00, clipping off the bottoms of the 8 and 6 of the date and the tops of QUARTA on the reverse. Such flaws are common to Vermont Coppers, so collectors usually go for the coins with nice surfaces. In that arena, this one is sure to please (PCGS # 545) Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000
