Description
1788 Ryder-17 Vermont Copper, Fine 15
1788 COPPER Vermont Copper, Mailed Bust Right Fine 15 NGC. RR-17, W-2125, R.5. An important variety that was only known to Hillyer Ryder through the description in Crosby. Ryder wrote: "Crosby gives three dies of his obv. 1 of 1788. Two of these are described in obverses 16 and 18 of this list. No specimen of the third die has been met with." Perhaps 50 examples are known today. This pleasing piece has semi-glossy emerald and chestnut surfaces with old maroon oxidation through the lettering on each side.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.
