1787 Vermont Copper. RR-13, Bressett 17-V, W-2255. Rarity-1. BRITANNIA. EF-45 BN (NGC).

Noticeably above average quality for this otherwise common Vermont copper variety. Well struck on a high quality planchet, this pleasing medium to dark brown coin is only lightly worn and still shows faint traces of mint frost in the obverse fields. Glossy and smooth in appearance with none of the planchet flaws or roughness that often plague the variety. A few old scratches at the central reverse are the only minor marks. A strong example of this distinctive type.

PCGS# 800830. NGC ID: 2B5C.
