Description
1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 18-J, W-4875. Rarity-5. Bridle. VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
143.7 grains. 27.7 mm. A high grade grounder, with a hard dark green patina that shows some evidence of crust at the peripheries. Some earthen deposits remain around design elements. Very well defined, with a bold shield and nice horsehead, though the date is perilously close to the edge. Both sides are aligned to the right. The bridle break is nice and clear, representing Die State 3. Perhaps not as choice and glossy as some of the pieces in the Condition Census, but this piece has sharpness that rivals a few of them. This is a notoriously tough variety to find nice.
PCGS# 766245.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Christopher B. Young, October 2007.
