1785 Vermont Copper

[baspinall]

Went to a colonial site with a buddy today. We have been here a few times in the past. Right off the bat Aaron was pulling coppers. Two nice K.G.'s. I came up with all kinds of colonial stuff but the coins eluded me. When were almost ready to roll I hit a copper. Turned out to be a 1785 Vermont.
Not sure what variation it is though?

Re: Vermont Copper

Super!!! Love seeing Vermont coppers found, that looks pretty darn good for a 1785 Landscape one! Congrats

Here, use the photos on ND site to see if you can match exactly with one of them, Im sure you will........

Re: Vermont Copper

Don - I can read just about every word on the darn thing but the Vermont part. Don't know if it has the "TIS" or just "TS"?

You did great. Looks like you guys found a tavern site. I really like the Vermont. Nice barrel tap also. Definitely tavern. Now Milk it.

1785 Ryder 2 VERMONTS variety I am fairly certain after comparing the plow, the date and my crossed eyes

We were saying that earlier, being a Tavern site. Six coppers found there so far. KG's, Hibernia's and the Vermont.

Don is it my vision or is the plow larger on the R3 & 4?

The space between the 1785 and the bottom of the plow is too close on Ryder 3 and I believe on Ryder 4 too far (maybe) but the Ryder 4 has the right sun beam almost pointing at the letter P, on the other varieties it is more off center pointing a bit between the P and U
