<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 759412, member: 7638"]Given the success of the Fugio thread, I thought I might start one for Vermont Landscape coppers. I realize that it's a collecting niche, but I think that these are just really neat coins, with designs that are crude, whimsical, and somewhat mystical. Let me share the only one I own, just bought from Tim Puro of VT Coins from his eBay store. Tim says that this coin "walked in" to his shop in an old collection, and he has no other info on it. I like to think that it has never left the state of Vermont until now. I realize the condition of the surfaces is not good, but the coin has an astonishing (to me ) amount of detail, which for me (and my budget!) trumps surface quality for this particular issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/colonials%20and%20federation/vermontcopper1785rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/colonials%20and%20federation/vermontcopper1785obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
