Lot Title:
|
1786 Vermont Copper, the first of the three "Vermontensium" varieties (Ryder-6, Rarity.3, 118.8 grains). VF.
|
Description:
|
Vermont landscape coppers are notorious for succumbing to the dark, ugly effects of environmental damage, but this particular example is almost unbelievably nice, with likely the most perfect color ever seen on the type by your fearless cataloger. And, the surfaces are 100% USDA certified all-beef original caramel brown with no evidence of cleaning or abuse. INCREDIBLE! The obverse (landscape side) is centered essentially perfectly on the flan while the reverse is slightly offset south, and this leads to an audaciously bold date -- yet another positive attribute. Striking irregularity is responsible for lack of detail on the reverse, this being the only complaint against the coin, and the singular factor that prevents an XF grade. 118.8 grains, and easily very choice VF.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
