Lot Description

1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 14-J, W-4810. Rarity-1. Straight Plow Beam, Stegosaurus Head. EF-45 BN (NGC). Handsome autumn-brown surfaces exhibit glints of warmer olive-gray here and there toward the borders. Generally well centered in strike, although the lower right obverse and upper left reverse borders are devoid of denticulation. All major design elements are bold, in keeping with the grade assigned by NGC. A small planchet pit at the upper plow handle is noted, otherwise the surfaces are pleasingly smooth in hand with no significant blemishes. Intermediate Die State 1-2, with the faint beginnings of a bulge running from the 1 of the date across the bust truncation to RE of CAESAREA. PCGS# 45423. NGC ID: AUKJ.
