I have seen a few more than many think are probably known, but it is still much rarer then how it normally comes with the large die break forming from 6 o'clock on the reverse.
I would guess 1/4 of the total population are the early die state, but that probably only makes about 8-10 known in all grades!

Very nice copper.... (or VOC.. ).... I just like all the old copper.... guess it is the history... and since I live in an area that was part of colonial settlement and rich with the history, it is special to me. Cheers, RickO

Good pickup. In general terms the RR-21 is (IMHO) one of the most underrated varieties in the Vermont series.
You are not the only one who likes the dark brown with lighter brown toning on high points

The obverse looks slightly glossy. Is that the pic, or was it treated/preserved with something back in the day?
