1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 19-M, W-4900. Rarity-5. Curved Plow Beam, Drunken Die-Cutter, Wide Shield. Fine, Porous, Surfaces Smoothed.
145.68 grains. Deep charcoal-rose color overall with areas of lighter autumn-orange on the reverse. Minor planchet voids (as made) drift over much of the obverse, the surfaces on both sides with some curious glossiness that explain our second qualifier. The strike is trivially off center, although only along the left reverse border do we note mentionable lack of detail, where no denticulation is seen.
PCGS# 767879.
