1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 34-J, W-5115. Rarity-3. Deer Head--Overstruck on a Connecticut Copper. VF-35 (PCGS). 146.9 grains. Another handsome overstruck late die state 34-J, with choice chocolate brown color and outstanding smooth surfaces. The obverse is ideally centered, and the reverse is broad and pleasing as well. Substantial Connecticut undertype is visible on the reverse, particularly CONNEC at the lower left of the shield. Aside from two short scratches on the lower portion of the horsehead, this is a pretty much perfect example of this popular variety. Die State 4. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
