Lot Description

1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 37-f. Rarity-4. Outlined Shield, Goiter. Double Struck. F-15 (PCGS). 153.5 grains. Chocolate brown with contrasting lighter brown devices. Finely granular but even in appearance and very attractive. Boldly double struck, struck first notably off-center to the left, then struck again with normal centering. The bases of VA of NOVA from the initial strike are seen at the rim at 9:00; on the reverse, the left border of the first shield impression is visible beneath PLUR of PLURIBUS. A few striations are noted, natural flaw at the obverse rim near 3:00, still quite pleasing. Die State 3, a typical die state. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 766266 and 522420. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
