Description
1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 50-f, W-5475. Rarity-3. Head Left. VF-25 (PCGS).
158.7 grains. A final example of this popular variety. Dark olive with tan devices over evenly granular surfaces. The horsehead is bold and the shield is better defined than often seen. The obverse rim is rounded at left, but shows bold, high relief denticles at right. The reverse is a bit striated and shows some trivial scratches in the top portions of the shield. The obverse is just finely granular, but also shows some old scratches in the field behind the horsehead and around the plowhandles. The eye appeal remains strong on both sides. This appears to be the very rare Die State 1, with no visible crack on the obverse and only a very shallow bulge behind the head.
PCGS# 766268.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
Estimate: $5000
