Vermont Copper Coinage of 1785 to 1787 Recalls Crude Minting

Notes crude hammering on iron screws and heavy timbers, describes several scarce varieties 1 through 7 with legends Vermon tli and Vernon Auctori, values around fifty cents to one dollar, and hints at rare perfect pieces worth much more. The column ends with a reader question about a coin in possession.
