1786 Vermont Copper. RR-11, Bressett 9-H, W-2050. Rarity-4. Bust Left.

1786 Vermont Copper. RR-11, Bressett 9-H, W-2050. Rarity-4. Bust Left. VF-25 (PCGS). 109.9 grains. Both sides are a nearly even, deep olive in color with two areas on the reverse a lighter tan-brown. Quite granular overall, obverse flawed at right and lower right, reverse somewhat misshapen at upper right border with a portion of the legend obscured as a result. The reverse hub doubling shows very clearly on and around the seated figure's arms. The 1786 Bust Left is a notoriously difficult Guide Book variety in the Vermont copper series to collect, especially when any degree of above average quality and/or positive eye appeal are required. With most major design elements discernible to bold and no significant marks or other post-production blemishes, this Ryder-Boyd-Ford specimen was an excellent choice for the Emerald Coast collector, whose eye for quality is particularly evident in his selections for particularly challenging varieties such as those in the Vermont series.
