Lot Description

1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 67-v, W-5510. Rarity-1. Head Right, Brushed Mane. VF-20 (PCGS). OGH. Well struck in general on a nice round planchet, although the letter E in the reverse motto is not evident. The base toning is warm copper-brown, over which considerable charcoal and crimson surface scale has built up. Planchet flaw at 1 o'clock on the reverse, but there are no marks of note apart from a few minor ones in the lower right obverse field. Always a popular New Jersey variety for type purposes. PCGS# 521. NGC ID: 2B4Y. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
