- 1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. EF-40 (PCGS).
This handsome piece combines a boldly defined obverse with a reverse that is typically soft for an RR-13 Vermont copper. On the latter side, nonetheless, we note good outlining and suitably bold detail to the seated figure. Blended medium and mahogany-brown patina, the surfaces a bit rough overall, but due more to microscopic pitting in the planchet as opposed to significant marks. This variety, attributed to Machin's Mills, is a muling of a new-style Vermont obverse with a much-used reverse from the Machin's Mills counterfeit halfpenny series, attributed as Vlack 87C. The shallow relief of this die and its frequent use in multiple pairings explain the extreme weakness evident in most examples of RR-13. Popular for type purposes, and eagerly sought throughout the numismatic grading scale.
PCGS# 554. NGC ID: 2B5C.
