Vermont Copper
1787 Vermont Copper. RR-14, W-2105. Rarity-4. Mailed Bust Right. Fine-15, counterstamped [?]ASKO’S / [CAS]T-STEEL.
108.2 grains. An interesting and attractive counterstamp. Nice medium brown with lighter devices, nearly smooth and very appealing. Two very early (late 18th or early 19th century) marks have been applied by a blacksmith whose name ends in “asko,” both in conforming cartouches that are gently arced, intended for cast steel items. Research should be able to reveal this maker. We haven’t seen many counterstamped Vermonts and this is a nice one.
