Description
1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-3, Bressett 2-B, W-2010. Rarity-5-. VERMONTS—Double Struck—Fine Details—Environmental Damage (PCGS).
128.8 grains. Very dark burgundy brown, with central detail very soft resulting from the hard but corroded obverse surface. The reverse, by contrast, is quite nice and passable, the dark brown and slightly granular fields framing light tan motifs and legends. Boldly double struck in a stuttering fashion, the two strikes closely overlapping but with enough distance to cause the legends and parts of the central reverse devices to either be abridged (at left obverse and right reverse) or to repeat (at right obverse and left reverse). The doubling of the reverse is very similar to the Garrett-Greenway RR-3 we sold in our Spring 2019 Baltimore auction for $28,800 in a PCGS AU-55 encapsulation. RR-3 is often double struck, with enough very visually multiple struck examples extant to allow many collectors the opportunity to add one to their Vermont die variety sets.
PCGS# 800845.
