- 1786 COPPER Vermont Copper, Baby Head VF30 NGC. RR-9, Bressett 7-F, W-2040, R.3. The distinctive and youthful portrait on the obverse inspires the name Baby Head for this variety. The motivation for producing the Baby Head design is unknown, although the possibility exists that it was a tribute to the children of Reuben Harmon. The first five of his 11 children were born between 1775 and 1785. This example exhibits hard steel-brown porosity on both sides, with splashes of tan on the devices. The Baby Head variety is rarely seen with four bold wheat sheaves on the shield. This piece exhibits 255-degree die alignment with the head of the seated figure on the reverse opposite 3:30 on the obverse. The obverse is nicely centered, while the reverse has a wide border to the left, and the legend to the right partially off the flan. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,350.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Vermont Copper, Landscape, VERMONTENSIUM MS62 Brown NGC. RR-7, Bressett 5-E, W-2025, R.3. This early die state coin has little evidence of the obverse die sinking that is present on most examples. The die sinking is responsible for localized design weakness as seen above. However, the present piece has a full border and unusually bold detail on both sides. The surfaces are lovely light chocolate, with traces of olive toning on the high points, and splashes of pale orange luster within the sun's rays, suggesting a brilliant evening sky as the sun sets behind the mountains. This example is clearly finer than the single Taylor Collection specimen, and it is finer than any others we have seen. Dave Bowers records this die marriage as the scarcest of the three VERMONTENSIUM varieties, while Tony Carlotto awards that honor to RR-8. Rarity ratings aside, all of the Vermont Landscape coppers are elusive in Mint State grades. The Norweb specimen was graded AU in that catalog, and is certified MS62 Brown, but it is slightly inferior to the Eric P. Newman piece. The Eliasberg piece is XF, and the finest Ford coin was called Choice XF. The Taylor Collection had a VF coin. It is our opinion that the Newman example is the finest surviving Vermont RR-7 Landscape copper. The current NGC Census Report shows a single MS62 Brown Vermont Landscape. PCGS has graded two Mint State Vermont Landscapes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $44,062.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Vermont Copper, Landscape, VERMONTENSIUM XF45 NGC. RR-7, Bressett 5-E, W-2025, R.3. All of the earlier Vermont Landscape coppers had medallic-turn die alignment. That was changed to coin-turn alignment for the RR-7 and RR-8 coppers, although the reason for that change remains a mystery. This tan and steel-brown example has a small patch of verdigris on the obverse. Both sides are otherwise smooth, with old, hard patina. Die sinking is evident at the lower left part of the obverse, and the coin lacks detail outside that bulge, with a similar lack of reverse detail. Between 200 and 300 Vermont RR-7 coppers survive, typically in lower grades. A survey of 58 auction appearances shows an average grade of VF30. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

- 1786 COPPER Vermont Copper, Landscape, VERMONTENSIUM AU58 NGC. RR-6, Bressett 4-D, W-2020, R.2. This remarkable Vermont Landscape copper has the date and obverse legend complete, with an unusually strong obverse legend at the lower left. The reverse is slightly out of alignment, with a wide border at 6 o'clock, and QUARTA tight against the upper border at 12 o'clock. Improper alignment is the rule, not the exception, for the RR-6 die combination. The lovely brown surfaces combine olive and mahogany, with faint traces of original mint color on the obverse. While RR-6 is plentiful as a variety, typical pieces are in lower grades, and the specialist would do well to acquire a pleasing VF example. The Eric P. Newman coin is far finer. It clearly outshines the 1914 ANS Exhibition piece that traded hands in 2003, and is nearly equal to the MS62 Eliasberg specimen that was called the finest known. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $32,900.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1786 COPPER Vermont Copper, Landscape, VERMONTENSIUM VF35 NGC. RR-6, Bressett 4-D, W-2020, R.2. Three varieties designated RR-6, RR-7, and RR-8, have the VERMONTENSIUM obverse legend, with crowded lettering. The present variety is the most plentiful Landscape copper, with about 500 survivors. This remarkable coin exhibits an unusually bold legend, especially at the lower left obverse. Typical examples have VERMON weakly defined. However, this example has those letters boldly defined. This coin exhibits steel-brown, maroon, and olive surfaces with the landscape scene appearing in lighter, earthy-brown tones. Minor planchet fissures are noted on the obverse. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $3,525.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
