Lot Description

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 62-q, W-5350. Rarity-3. Large Planchet, Plain Shield. VF-30 (PCGS). Deep olive-brown patina blankets both sides of this outwardly smooth, well balanced Choice VF. A few minor marks and pits in and around the centers are noted solely for accuracy, and indeed some are as struck. The strike is nicely centered with all major design elements boldly defined, and the overall eye appeal is uncommonly strong in a mid-grade example of this type. Maris 62-q is one of the popular Large Planchet issues from the Morristown, New Jersey Mint. PCGS# 509.
