Description
1788 Vermont GEORGIVS III, VF20
Ryder-31, Whitman-2260
1788 COPPER Vermont Copper, GEORGIVS III VF20 NGC. RR-31,
Bressett 24-U, W-2260, R.4. Thomas Machin of Machin's Mills in
New York was authorized to strike Vermont coppers, and a number of
varieties are attributed to his hand. Among them are the RR-31,
that is related both to the Machin's Mills series of counterfeit
English halfpence and to the Connecticut series. This chestnut and
dark chocolate-brown example has smooth, problem-free surfaces with
exceptional eye appeal. Typical of this variety, the obverse is
sharp and the reverse lacks detail. Grading is always by surface
quality rather than the quantity of remaining design
definition.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
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.
