Lot 18
1788 Vermont. Bust Facing Right. Ryder-25. VF-30. A pleasing example, having somewhat reflective surfaces, showing overall light wear. Several old fine pin-scratches on the center of both sides.A very nicely detailed coin for this variety, that was struck from shallow dies to begin with. The importance of this particular coin stems from its appearance as the Plate coin in the Richardson monograph on Vermont Coppers. The obverse has two early collector's attributions in white ink: "25" below the bust (for the variety) and "3B" to the right of the chin (presumably, someone's designations for the obverse and reverse designations). While this piece approaches the Condition Census, some details are better than on some coins that have been assigned a higher grade.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
Ex New Jersey Historical Society Collection, donated to the ANS in 1937. In 1984 deaccessioned by the ANS at an Early American Numismatics Mail Bid Sale.
