Catalogued in our September 1977 sale as ''Struck slightly off-center to 9:00 affecting the tops of Vermontensium. Some planchet defects through 'ICA' and the date and correspondingly so through 'STELLA'. About Uncirculated with a faint trace of mint color in the sun. Even light chocolate toning.'' Today, we would feel more comfortable with...  more 131 1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 7 (R-4) EF $3,250.00 VERMONTENSIUM obverse spelling. 126.3 gns. Extremely Fine. Choice and smooth, glossy honey brown surfaces are quite remarkable for the utter absence of planchet flaws. Usually, the landscape types are riddled with minor planchet striae or even disfiguring flaws as a result of poorly mixed planchet stock; the current specimen comes from a stock that would be expected of a well made...  more 132 1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 8 (R-4) AU $8,000.00 VERMONTENSIUM obverse spelling. 102.2 gns. About Uncirculated, and a simply remarkably example. Glossy and hard, deep chestnut brown surfaces boast hints of golden brown and ruddy tones in the fields.

A bit off-center...  more 133 1786 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM obverse spelling F $190.00 Ryder 8 (R-4). 120.4 gns. Fine.

Mailed Bust Right CH AU $9,500.00 110.5 gns. Choice About Uncirculated, nearly Uncirculated. Here is a simply amazing specimen of this dreadfully common die variety. Surfaces are a perfect deep mahogany brown with lighter golden highlights, probably the very faded remnants of original mint color. The surface quality is superior, displaying none of the usually encountered harsh planchet flaws or porosity; in fact, a couple spindly,...  more 135 1787 Vermont Copper. BRITANNIA reverse. Ryder 13. Mailed Bust Right VF $300.00 Very Fine. Pleasing, deep chocolate brown surfaces are devoid of the often harsh planchet flaws that plague this common, yet intriguing mule of a Vermont obverse with a fantastically dated, contemporary counterfeit Halfpenny reverse. PCGS VF20. 136 1787 Vermont Copper. Ryder 14. Mailed Bust Right VG to F $220.00 127.4 gns. Fine. Dark brown with lighter high points, a touch of porosity, and some very ancient fine scratches on both sides; 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 54-k. Serpent Head. 144.2 gns.

About Uncirculated, or finer. Glossy, deep chestnut brown surfaces are supremely flaw-free and attractive, with lighter golden brown toning at the peripheries that is most probably the remnants of much faded original mint color. A glass finds two inconsequential spots on the obverse, one at and one below the shoulder plates. This coin displays a trifling amount...  more 140 1788 Vermont Copper. Ryder 31 (R-4+). GEORGIVS III REX obverse AB VF $1,900.00 Mailed Bust Right. 101.5 gns. About Very Fine. Dark chestnut brown surfaces are of a pleasing hue and exhibit uniform light granularity on both sides.

Choice Fine or better for one of these. Surfaces are a glossy olive tan and are of a quality that is superior for this die variety. As will be plain the photos, there is some minor graininess on both sides; this is as much the result of the inherent roughness of the planchet as it is any physical change of the surfaces. Given the thinness of the planchet stock, there wasn't...  more 142 1785 Connecticut Copper. Miller 2-A.1 (R-5+). Mailed Bust Right. Roman Head AM $450.00 152.8 gns. Fine. Dark brown surfaces are uniformly porous in the fields and noticeably smoother on the relatively well defined design motifs. The distinctive ''Roman Head'' is clear, while the reverse exhibits the usual weakness in the seated figure. The 2-A.1 is a very scarce variant of this popular head type. A splash of white ink on the obverse lead us to a very crude and smeared,...  more 143 Connecticut Coppers. 1785 Miller 4.4-C (R-3). Mailed Bust Right G to VG $130.00 Fine or so.

Good to Very Good. A mostly problem-free, chocolate brown coin; 1787 Draped Bust Left. Very Good. Surfaces are a bit rough, precluding die variety attribution. 3 pieces. 144 1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 33.6-KK. Draped Bust Left AU $875.00 142.6 gns. About Uncirculated or so from a technical standpoint. One will be hard-pressed to find much actual wear on this coin. Rather, it exhibits some of the typical flatness of strike inherent in the Draped Bust Left series. The most weakness is at the obverse effigy's drapery and at the reverse female's head; but on the overall this specimen is actually quite well struck for one...  more 145 1787 Connecticut Copper.

Golden brown and quite attractive on the overall, this specimen exhibits minor circulation marks and a touch of graininess in a few spots. The obverse features the legend variant AUCTOBI, while the reverse replaces ET LIB with ET LIR! Both sides are a trifle off-center, nipping off the tops of a few letters in the reverse legend. This coin is a trifle finer than the recently...  more 150 1788 Connecticut Copper. Miller 2-D. Mailed Bust Right CH VF $325.00 Choice Very Fine.
