<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 837967, member: 23874&quot;]Pictured is a 1788 Republic of Vermont copper that I obtained in the last week. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe that this specimen is a Ryder-Richardson-16 / Bresset 15-S / W-2120 based on diagnostics: including no stops in the legend, raised dots on the mailed-bust breastplate, and that die-use of this variety is unique to all within the Vermont issues. Per Bowers, specimens of this type are always weak at their centers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe that this specimen grades somewhere around Fine+. Notwithstanding its wear, I believe that the planchet is solid with nice coloring; the rims and legends have remained strong. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and welcomed!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks, kindly[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
