Description
1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 21-O, W-4915. Rarity-5. Wide Shield. VF-20 (PCGS).
138.4 grains. 28.2 mm. Medium brown with mostly smooth, glossy surfaces, though the central obverse hosts some natural fissures that are most pronounced in the right field and below the snout. More are seen in the low part of the shield, an area that saw insufficient pressure to obliterate them at the time of striking. The centering is ideal, with a complete ring of denticles around the reverse and all but the upper right quadrant of the obverse framed as well. No significant post striking flaws are seen, just a little dark verdigris at BUS of PLURIBUS. Die State 2, with a crack connecting PL of PLURIBUS. A very pleasing and collectible example of this tough variety.
PCGS# 767881.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Mike Wierzba, August 2013.
