- 1787 Vermont Copper. RR-14, Bressett 10-K, W-2105. Rarity-3. Bust Right. VF-35 (PCGS). A second example from the RR-14 dies, this coin is not overstruck and is an early die state with no evidence of the reverse break above the seated figure's head. The impression on that side, however is trivially off center to 1 o'clock with little to no denticulation along the border at the upper right. The date and lettering on that side are crisp, and the seated figure is well outlined with softness at the head and in the center. Border denticulation is also incomplete on the obverse due to less-than-perfect centering, but all major design elements on that side are bold. The surfaces are dark charcoal-copper with tinges of olive, microporous in areas, yet with good gloss and free of detracting marks. A swirl of ancient verdigris at the lower right obverse border below the end of the bust is noted solely for accuracy. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Acquired from the Frisco Mint, January 10, 2017. Earlier ex Al Hoch, September 16, 1960. PCGS# 800831. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
