Lot Description

1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5760. Seated Figure Right. AU-50 (PCGS). 117.29 grains. Tiny rim clip at top of obverse. Deep golden-tan with some olive highlights on the high points. An absolutely flawless example of the type and grade combination with surfaces that yield no marks of any stature. Nicely centered with the obverse rim somewhat tight to  NOV and the bottom of the breastplate, the reverse rim tight to the top of the Liberty cap, otherwise perfectly centered. If you mean to own a nice Nova Eborac copper of this style, the present coin is one that should be considered -- it is that nice!
