Lot Description

1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 46-e. Rarity-1. Outlined Shield. AU-53 (PCGS). 147.5 grains. Frosty chocolate brown with choice surfaces and exceptional eye appeal for the grade. Obverse aligned to upper right, with SAR at the edge of the planchet, reverse bettered centered but missing denticles at base. Die State 4, with a bulge above the date in addition to the usual heavy clashing. This is a common variety, even in high grade, but this coin is far prettier than most. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 766317and 506. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
