1785 Vermont Copper 1/2p Landscape RR-2 W2005 R3 VERMONTS PCGS F15 Syd Martin LDS Cud

From the 08/19/23 Stacks Syd Martin Part IV auction where this coin was lot #8377 and described as: “1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-2, Bressett 1-A, W-2005. Rarity-3. VERMONTS. Fine-15 (PCGS).  110.6 grains. Chestnut brown in the fields, a decidedly lighter tan on the devices and legends of this attractive Landscape copper. Struck a trifle off-center on one of the ovoid flans seen on some examples of this die pairing, pushing the date and some letters partially off-flan. A deep but smooth planchet furrow between STELLA and QUARTA has also softened the corresponding area of the obverse. Collected by Syd for its late die state plainly showing the tornado-like die break extending from base of the mountains through plow to date.  Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Long Island Numismatics (Gary Parietti), June 2001.”  PCGS #6800844.15/46767157 with “VERMONTS, RR-2” listed on the label.  This coin realized $1,080 in that auction, and my asking price on my website and eBay is $1,750.  Please make sure you SIGN IN to your account on my website to see DISCOUNTED pricing.
