1788 Vermont Copper, Backward C in AUCTORI, RR-30, Bressett
23-S, W-2225, R.6 -- Damaged -- NGC Details. Good. Ryder-30
with a retrograde C in AUCTORI is one of the three formidable
stoppers to completion of a Guide Book collection of Vermont
coppers, along with the 1785 Immune Columbia and the 1787 Bust
Left. The diesinker for the obverse die was clearly less skilled
than the maker of the reverse die, given the various unevenly
spaced, misaligned, and repunched letters in VERMON AUCTORI. The
present coin was struck moderately off center toward 2 o'clock, but
the legends are mostly complete. Tan-brown high points contrast
with deep gray fields. Listed on page 28 of the 2026 Guide
Book.From The Siesta Key Collection.
