Lot 32
1786 Vermont Landscape Ryder-6 Rarity-2. PCGS graded EF-45. The VERMONTENSIUM type. Choice glossy light chocolate brown with darker chocolate toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth and very attractive, especially for a landscape type Vermont that almost always comes with planchet flaws. The best identifying mark is a small splash of darker chocolate brown toning under the S in RES. Nicely struck early die state, before the die crack up through the date. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-5 leaving the bottom edge of the 86 and upper edge of the adjacent CA off the planchet, but everything else is complete. You may be able to find examples of the Landscape type graded higher than this piece, but you won't find one with a nicer planchet. This piece is superior to the Carlotto plate coins for the variety in his book on the Vermont coppers. Pop 15; 20 finer.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
