Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1876 1785 Landscape type. VERMONTS. Ryder 2 F to VF $300.00 (R-3+). 102.1 grains. Fine to Very Fine in the right two-thirds of the coin, while the left one-third is very indistinct as a result of planchet roughness in that area. Right parts of the coin are surprisingly smooth and glossy, featuring a rich chestnut brown hue that one could only hope for on one of these Landscapes. Date is about three-fourths on the coin on this popular Vermont...  more 1877 1785 Landscape type. VERMONTS. R.2 SP $350.00 (R-3+). 102.3 grains. Fine or better. Iridescent yellow, rose and blue tones dominate this specimen that was cleaned long ago and has taken on this palette of colors. Strike is decent and the planchet is missing the major flaws that often plague this issue. Surfaces exhibit some graininess as well as some ancient hairlines. Struck from the later obverse die state with die crack through...  more 1878 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 CH VF $725.00 (R-3). 111.8 grains. Choice Very Fine, possibly finer in strict terms of wear. Dark brown, mildly porous surfaces exhibit some areas of greater planchet flaws at left obverse and right reverse. Salient design details, such as the Green Mountains, date and plow are essentially full and uncompromised by the planchet flaws. Here is wonderful specimen for the collector who desires a nice...  more 1879 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 VF / G $240.00 (R-3). A second. 109.0 grains. Very Fine/Good. Surfaces range from porous to very porous, with most of the salient obverse details full and clear. The reverse, on the other hand, is extremely porous, wiping out most rays surrounding the all-seeing eye. 1880 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 EF $200.00 (R-3). A third. 111.2 grains. Very Fine, and probably Extremely Fine or better in terms of wear. Surfaces, however, are uniformly extremely porous. Date is complete, legends and devices vary in the extent that they are affected by the surface roughness. 1881 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.7 AB VF $500.00 (R-4). About Very Fine. 108.2 grains. Deep maroon-brown, grainy fields surround lighter wheat-brown devices. Three planchet flaws are fairly minor relative to the sometimes severe flaws seen on this type. Unlike many other specimens of this landscape type, however, the Green Mountain scene is essentially complete. A glass reveals ancient fine scratches on obverse devices. 1882 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.7 F to VF $300.00 (R-4). Fine to Very Fine. Fields are uniformly granular, dark brown hue, while the legends and devices are worn into a lighter brown smoothness. Some post-striking damage has somewhat obscured or flattened certain design elements in addition to bruising the edge in two locations. A tiny rim clip is noted at 1:00 on obverse. 1883 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.8 F $380.00 (R-4). 109.9 grains. Fine. Surfaces range from smooth to mildly granular, with nearly all design elements visible or at least well-outlined, which is a rarity for this notoriously poorly made Vermont type. Date is full and on flan, plow is a bit indistinct, while mountains, trees and sun are all clearly visible. A pronounced planchet cutter lip is noted from 2:00 to 7:00 on obverse. 1884 1786 Baby Head type. R.9 SP $500.00 (R-4). 129.3 grains. Fine. Dark olive-brown surfaces range from perfectly smooth to porous, some old pitting at central reverse being the most eye-catching. The devices and legends that are so distinct for Ryder 9 are essentially complete, with just a hint of weakness at 'CTO' of AUCTORI on obverse. Although this specimen exhibits a pair of rather pronounced edge bruises, the general...  more 1885 1786 Baby Head type. R.9 VG $200.00 (R-4). A second. 127.0 grains. Very Good or better in terms of wear. Surfaces are uniformly very porous, with most legends faint or missing, while INDE is boldly visible. Reverse is a trifle off-center, leaving only the tops of the '78' in the date visible. Here is a good hole filler for this popular type and die variety of the Vermont series. Dies rotated about 90 degrees from coin...  more 1886 1786 Mailed Bust Left. R.10 PR $700.00 (R-4). 108.7 grains. Fine or better. Planchet quality is average or a bit better for this variety that comes on notoriously poor quality planchet stock, with some minor flaws noted at central obverse and reverse. Fields are relatively smooth, central devices exhibit very little definition, as is normal for the issue. Rims are tight to the tops of AUCTORI, bottom of bust, date and ET...  more 1887 1787 Mailed Bust Right. Britannia variety. R.13 VF $250.00 101.7 grains. Very Fine. Exquisite chocolate brown tones define this uniformly porous specimen that is about average in terms of surface quality for the variety. Struck from the later state of the obverse die featuring a die break at point of bust. 1888 1787 Mailed Bust Right. R.14 F $100.00 (R-4). 111.5 grains. Fine or better in terms of wear. Well-centered but exhibiting many fine hairlines that are probably the result of an attempt to remove some red verdigris. 1889 1787 Mailed Bust Right. R.14 VG $60.00 (R-4). A second. 121.5 grains. Very Good. Generally smooth, tan to light brown surfaces are the rule on this specimen of a relatively available Vermont variety. A slight wave to the planchet and a few small reverse hits are noted for completeness of description. 1890 1787 Mailed Bust Right. R.14 VG $60.00 (R-4). A third. 102.4 grains. Very Good or better in terms of wear, but surfaces are very granular with some ancient, toned over surface scratches. 1891 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.16 VG $90.00 103.1 grains. Very Good or a bit better. Attractive light brown devices are framed by deeper chestnut brown fields on this example of a ubiquitous Vermont variety. Ancient light scratches are noted at neck, date is a bit indistinct, and there is some ''parched riverbed'' type planchet roughness on the reverse. 1892 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.20 F $150.00 (R-4). 126.9 grains. Fine or better. Surfaces exhibit some tics and scratches associated with circulation and are uniformly microgranular, with some larger pits or planchet flaws in evidence on both faces. Well centered, with an essentially full date. Although available, Ryder 20 is a less frequently seen than varieties like Ryder 12 and 14. 1893 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.20 AB F $100.00 (R-4). A second. 106.8 grains. About Fine. Two-tone surfaces exhibit light brown devices and rich chestnut brown, microgranular fields. Pie-shaped planchet flaw is noted at lower left obverse, as is some verdigris at lower obverse. 1894 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.20 VG $60.00 (R-4). A third. 120.8 grains. Very Good. Apple green patination covers uniformly very granular, dark brown surfaces. 1895 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.21 VG $180.00 (R-4+/R-5-). 120.0 grains. Very Good. Surfaces are dark ruddy brown and a bit grainy, with a more severe patch of granularity at the central and upper reverse. Date is not visible, but the worn outline of the diagnostic reverse die break is well-defined. Here is an affordable specimen of this Vermont scarcity. 1896 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.22 F $500.00 (R-4+/R-5-). 122.0 grains. Fine. Medium to dark brown surfaces also exhibit a hint of ruddy brown in the reverse fields. The low relief of the reverse devices has allowed for the preservation of abundant detail, such as the lines in the shield. Both obverse and reverse faces exhibit minor granularity, with an ancient small scratch in obverse figure's head. 1897 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.23 VG $90.00 (R-4). 96.8 grains. Very Good. Advanced wear has lent this trouble-free specimen a distinct two-tone appearance featuring light brown devices, dark brown fields. 1898 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.24 F $280.00 (R-4). 98.3 grains. Fine or better. Dark brown and quite granular, this thin planchet example is struck from an advanced state of the obverse die exhibiting a die crack through the 'N' of VERMON. 1899 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.24 AB F $300.00 (R-4). A second. 119.6 grains. About Fine. Generally smooth, light to medium brown surfaces exhibit the light tics associated with regular circulation wear. 1900 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 CH F $300.00 (R-3+). 106.9 grains. Choice Fine. Early die states, the usually thick die break on obverse bust is just a thin crack. Rather attractive for this issue, the fields exhibiting only trivial graininess. A few minor verdigris pits should be noted, but they do not detract from this coin's overall high appeal. 1901 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 F $75.00 (R-3+). A second. 103.0 grains. Fine and probably better in terms of wear. Deep emerald green and brown fields and some verdigris pits are evidence of possible burial. 1902 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 VG $200.00 (R-3+). A third. 123.5 grains. Very Good. Dark ruddy brown surfaces are quite grainy on this large planchet specimen. Clearly overstruck on an Irish halfpenny of George II or III, elements of the harp are visible at the central reverse. 1903 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 VG $80.00 (R-3+). A fourth. 106.0 grains. Very Good. Dark brown surfaces are uniformly very granular. 1904 1788 Mailed Bust Right. INDE*ET LIB* variety. R.27 F $500.00 (R-4). 114.7 grains. Fine. Although well worn, this coin's smooth light chocolate brown surfaces have a mesmerizing quality to them. A few minor rim bruises are this beautiful and important type coin's only detractions. 1905 1788 Mailed Bust Right. INDE*ET LIB* variety. R.27 VF $100.00 (R-4). 86.1 grains. Very Fine in terms of wear. Surfaces are dark and granular but show abundantly detailed design motifs. Page 1 of 1  •  First  Previous  Next  Last
