- 1788 Vermont copper. Ryder-27, W-2205. Rarity-3. Mailed Bust Right. EF-45 (PCGS). 114.6 grains. Glossy medium brown with good sharpness and eye appeal. Some unevenness of planchet is seen on both sides, not unusual for this variety, but no major planchet flaws or post-striking issues are present. Some very minor slidemarks or hairline scratches blend in on the reverse. A good looking example of this Machin’s Mills issue from a little known but fairly major collection. The Colvin Collection was a little known cabinet assembled in upstate New York, donated to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute about 1950, and then dispersed through a series of sales by French’s, mostly in the early 1960s. For more on this collection, see Pogue, Part V (March 2017), Lot 5131. Provenance: From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of May 1975, lot 461; the Colvin Collection.
