- 1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA--Double Struck--VF-20/VG-10. 108.6 grains. Deep golden-brown with lighter highlights and uniform microgranularity throughout. Broadly double-struck, the evidence plainest on the obverse where two impressions are plainly seen under low magnification. Off-center on the obverse, rim to tops of VERMON, later die state with cud at tip of bust and vertical die crack across the effigy's portrait, no circulation marks present, reverse with some detail, portions of BRITANNIA and the date plainly seen though the overall sharpness is about typical for the variety, rim flaws and fissures, as struck, from 1 to 6 o'clock. A neat specimen that serves to highlights the mechanical foibles so prevalent in the Machin's Mills coinage. PCGS# 554. Provenance: From the Dan Freidus Collection. Ex Rob Retz. Paper envelope with attribution notes included.
