Description

Heart-shaped Cutout of a 1787 Vermont Copper. RR-12, Bressett 11-K, W-2110. Rarity-3. Bust Right—Overstruck on a Nova Constellatio Copper—Fine.
87.3 grains. A darling little coin skillfully cut into a heart shape, for what purpose we do not know. There seem to be no signs of mounting or excessive wear, so this probably was not used as jewelry. Syd passionately collected beautiful coins and rare die varieties, but also interesting knickknacks like this that kept his collection fresh and fun.
