1785 VT 1/2P Vermonts, RR-2 AU53BN PCGS #800844

RR-2, W-2005 variety, VERMONTS type. Considered to be Rarity-3. Ex Q. David Bowers Collection; earlier Bower’s November-December 2001 sale of the Dr. Robert I. Hinkley Collection, lot #2288.

1787 VT 1/2P Britannia, RR-13 AU53BN PCGS #800830

1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. AU-53 (PCGS). An especially choice example of this otherwise plentiful RR number, one that is especially noteworthy due to the sharpness of detail on the reverse. Not only is much of the seated figure crisp, but the word BRITANNIA is fully legible at the border, even though the tops of the letters at left are indistinct. For the date, arm's length appreciation will reveal traces of the digits 87. Typically sharper on the obverse with universally crisp detail and nice border denticulation. There are no significant marks, planchet microscopically pitted, but to no great detriment. An interesting vertical obverse die break bisects King George's cheek and neck. Deeply and richly toned in a blend of charcoal-olive, golden-brown and deep rose, this is one of the nicest RR-13s we've offered in recent sales, and it is sure to see spirited bidding among astute collectors. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), September 26, 2009.

1788 VT 1/2P Bust Right AU58BN PCGS #563

1788 Vermont Copper, Bust Right, AU58 PCGS. CAC. RR-16, Bressett 15-S, W-2120, R.1. An exquisite medium-brown example. Traces of faded mint red cling to the letters in AUCTORI. Free from marks or spots, although the centers are minutely granular where the strike was incomplete (characteristic of Ryder 16). The top of A is broken, diagnostic of the variety. The reverse displays minor strike-throughs near Liberty's neck, her extended hand, and the L in LIB. The obverse is just slightly misaligned toward 2:30, while the reverse shows ideal centering. Listed on page 84 of the 2019 Guide Book. Ex: Ted L. Craige (2/1971); Public Auction Sale (Stack's, 5/1975), lot 456; Jon Hanson; Donald Groves Partrick; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 5780, NGC 58; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2016), lot 3558; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2016), lot 3015; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2019), lot 3815, PCGS 58 CAC.
