Description
1785 Vermont Copper 1CL VF 30 Corroded. VERMONTS. Breen-711, Ryder-2, Bressett 1-A. 8.25 grams. Tannish-brown color with light corrosion and a few planchet flaws that are typical for the issue. The Vermont legislature, on June 15, 1785, granted Reuben Harmon, Jr. the franchise to make copper coins. Harmon's initial design had the sun rising over Green Mountain on the obverse and the All-Seeing Eye within a constellation of thirteen stars on the reverse. Harmon later petitioned the legislature to permit a change in the design to approximate that of the British halfpennies. In 1789 coppers of all kinds fell to approximately 25% of their previous purchasing power and Harmon abandoned his franchise and left Vermont. Listed on page 51 of the 2001 Guide Book.
