Description
1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 16-J, W-4835. Rarity-5+. Straight Plow Beam, Leaning Head. VG Details--Damage (PCGS).
136.3 grains. 27.7 mm. Reverse aligned a few degrees counterclockwise of proper coin turn. Granular dark and medium brown with two dull dents at the left side of the shield that impact details on the obverse. A few other minor obverse nicks are noted. Sharper than the grade assigned, obverse aligned to 6:00 enough to see the die edge atop the obverse but not so far to affect any of the date numerals. A small rim nick is seen right of the tip of the shield. A scarce variety, tough enough in nice grade that a VF coin would be exceptional. The EF-40 (PCGS) in our E Pluribus Unum sale brought $15,600.
PCGS# 766284.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Clem Schettino at the Atlanta ANA Convention, August 2001.
