- 1785 Vermont Copper. RR-2, W-2005. Rarity-4-. Landscape, VERMONTS. EF-45 (PCGS). 127.8 grains. A high quality example of this scarce first Vermont Landscape issue. Deep olive brown, nearly charcoal, with hints of encrustation in areas that suggest a ground provenance. The surfaces are mostly hard and glossy. Softly struck at ONT of VERMONTS from an uneven planchet in that area, apparently a bit thinner than the rest of the planchet and still showing some of its striated natural planchet texture at DEC of DECIMA. The obverse is aligned to 12:00 on an oblong planchet, allowing RES to be nearly complete at top even as an unstruck area is present below the bold arc of denticles below the date. The reverse is nearly ideally centered. A significant crack rises through the right side of 8 in the date to the plow, and a more delicate crack extends from the top left of that digit. A sharp and attractive piece with bold central detail and a very attractive patina. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS #539 and #800844. PCGS Population (all VERMONTS): 10; 5 finer (AU-55 finest). Click here for certification details from PCGS.
