Lot 34
1788 Vermont Ryder-39 (Connecticut Maris 1-I) Rarity-5+. VG-10. Rather glossy chocolate brown. The surfaces are decent but there are traces of greenish verdigris at AUC plus a few more less visible ones elsewhere on both sides. No contact marks or planchet flaws. The planchet is too small for the dies, as usual on this variety, leaving the upper portion of the legend and all of the date off the planchet. The reverse is rotated 100 degrees CW relative to a normal head-to-foot orientation. In spite of the minor defects, this is a nice example of a variety that is logically collected in both the Connecticut and Vermont series. The obverse is from a Connecticut die and the reverse is from a Vermont die. Better than the Perkins example of the variety. Weight 99.3 grains.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
