Lot 108
1786 Vermont Ryder-11 Rarity-4 VF30. Glossy medium chocolate brown with traces of lighter brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. Very nice for the type, but the surfaces are not perfectly smooth showing some tiny planchet chips on the portrait and near the rim at 4-5 o'clock on the obverse and the opposing area at 2-3 o'clock on the reverse. Only the top of the 1 in the date is on the planchet but most of the 7 and all of the 86 are clear. The obverse is centered on the planchet while the reverse is off a bit to K-9 leaving the tops of INDE off the planchet. A very nice example of a tough variety that never comes perfect, superior to any of the examples plated in the definitive Carlotto reference on this series. See page 72 in the Redbook." Weight 110.4 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
