1786 Vermont Copper, Mailed Bust Left, Ryder 10, Very Fine.
Nice chocolate brown color and plenty of details (these never come sharp). Both sides are slightly off-center as made, but that’s a good thing for the reverse 1786 date is fully on the planchet, bold and clear. The reverse shows some minimal planchet flaws (as made) and, on the obverse, some scratches to the left field a long, from a long time ago. All in all, this is an affordable example of this scarcer Vermont Copper variety. |
