<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 840217, member: 23874&quot;]Pictured is a 1787 Republic of Vermont Britannia copper that I also obtained in the&nbsp; last week. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Based on diagnostics, I&#039;m rather confident that this specimen is a RR-13 / Bressett 17-V / W-2255.</p><p><br /></p><p>Particulars of this specimen include:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Machin&#039;s Mills issue;</li> <li>The majority of the reverses for this issue have very worn lettering, presumably because the dies used were intentionally ground down to give a worn appearance, or were used first to mass produce counterfeit English halfpence and then used for minting Vermonts;</li> <li>Rarity: URS-12 - 1250 known specimens exist.</li> </ul><p>I spotted the same variety in very similar condition (Choice Fine) online last night for around $450... I paid half of that! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and welcomed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
