Colonial Coinage/Vermont Coppers: Popular  Baby Head  Variety
1786 VT Copper, "Baby Head," Ryder 9, Very Fine-25. An interesting rendering of this scarce and popular variety, struck on a planchet with numerous voids on both sides. The obverse die was centered nicely, while the reverse die shifted to the right (the minters just weren't too careful or concerned back then). The date is clear except for the base of the 6, which is off the planchet. Olive- and reddish-brown on the obverse; orangey-brown on the reverse.
