Electrotype. 1787 New Jersey Copper, Maris 7-E. Date Under Plowbeam. Copy of the Maris Plate - Garrett Coin. Nearly as Made.

151.7 grains. Medal turn. 7 / E painted die variety in right obverse field. A very nice copy of one of the most storied of all New Jersey coppers, plated in Crosby, plated in Maris (from an electrotype!), thence to Parmelee, Garrett, and Picker. The host for this specimen is considered second finest known of the variety. Medium brown with some hints of verdigris and a bit of lead showing at the shallowest relief of the central reverse. A very nice item.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier said to be from Hans M.F. Schulman's sale of the Spiro Collection, March 1955, lot 1635.
