Description du lot

151.1 grains. This is an important specimen of a notable rarity, the scarcer of the two Large Planchet varieties to carry the distinctive PLURIBS blunder in the reverse legend. Very attractive chocolate brown with faint granularity that still shows good gloss. Boldly struck and nearly perfectly centered, the dentils are soft beside date and off the planchet atop the reverse. A little bit of surface verdigris is noted left of the shield, another tiny patch above the letter C in CAESAREA, no real flaws otherwise. Though not a Condition Census example, this is a superb mid-grade coin for the Maris 61-p dies, rolling up attractiveness, rarity and provenance in one New Jersey copper.
