1788 Vermont Ryder-22 Rarity-5- Bust Right F12. Sharpness VF25 but covered with very fine porosity. A microscopic dusting of very fine verdigris covers both sides and much of the reverse is covered with old, light pin scratches, all blended perfectly into the slightly glossy olive brown and chocolate toning. The date is strong and the legends are complete. EDS with the usual die cracks and swelling on the reverse. Far from perfect, but this tough variety was missing from the famous Taylor, Roper, and Picker collection sales. Weight 112.9 grains. Listed on page 72 in the "Redbook." Estimated Value $400-UP
