1786 Vermont Baby Head, XF40
Ryder-9, Whitman-2040
1786 COPPER Vermont Copper, Baby Head XF40 NGC. RR-9, Bressett
7-F, W-2040, R.3. The RR-9 Baby Head copper is highly sought
after by type and major variety collectors, and the obverse appears
nowhere else in the series. Hard steel-brown patina accompanies
considerable light tan on the obverse and reverse devices, with
smooth surfaces that show minimal planchet defects. Far finer than
usual for the variety, and likely at the low end of the Condition
Census that includes one Mint State coin and one AU example, along
with several pieces graded XF. This coin has 225-degree die
alignment, with both sides showing full legends and a nearly
complete date. Only about one quarter of all Baby Head coppers have
a full date and full legends.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. (NGC ID# 2B58, PCGS# 548)

Auction Info
Buyer's Premium per Lot:
17.5% of the successful bid (minimum $14) per lot.
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
