1786 Vermont Copper. RR-10, Bressett 8-G, W-2045. Rarity-4. Bust Left. VG Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).

This more affordable RR-10 offers bold definition to all design elements, the strike generally well centered and wear honest and even. Only along the lower obverse border are the devices incomplete due to (less than perfect) centering, certainly a minor point. Deeply toned in charcoal-olive, the texture is a bit rough to explain the PCGS qualifier, but there are no sizeable marks, and the planchet is remarkably unflawed for the die pairing. Not the highest grade specimen out there, yet more appealing than most.

PCGS# 551. NGC ID: 2B59.
