Lot 107
1786 Vermont Landscape Ryder-6 Rarity-2 F15. The "VERMONTENSIUM" type. Sharpness at least VF30 but covered with fine roughness under a rather glossy olive brown patina with lighter chocolate brown toning covering the devices. No contact marks, but there is a deep planchet void at the rim that eliminates most of EL in STELLA (as struck). The obverse is slightly off center to K-2 and the reverse is off a bit more to the K-11 position leaving the upper half of QUARTA off the planchet. The date is bold. Early die state, prior to any die cracks. Listed on pages 71-72 in the "Redbook." Weight 111.9 grains.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
