Description du lot

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 38-Y, W-5170. Rarity-3. Outlined Shield, Small Head. VF-20 (PCGS). 151.0 grains. Hard, dark brown fields provide a backdrop to legends and devices that are worn to a light golden tan, with a trifling area of pitting around LU of PLURIBUS in the reverse legends. Wear and a planchet cutter lip have obscured the obverse dentils, which are often wholly absent even on high grade pieces; the reverse dentils are partly visible. A well-centered and generally well-made example of this die combination featuring the distinct "Small Head" known only on Maris obverse 38. PCGS# 509. NGC ID: 25XG. Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection. Purchased privately from Harry Garrison, February 28, 1999.
