October 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 63-s, W-5375. Rarity-2. Large Planchet, Plain Shield. VF-20 (PCGS). A smooth and tight example with superior quality and eye appeal for a moderately circulated early American copper. Warm, even medium copper patina blankets both sides and further enhances the coin's desirability. Close inspection with a loupe reveals little beyond a few tiny marks and wispy pin scratches, the only detraction evident to the unaided eye a small dig at the top of the right plow handle. Nicely centered in strike, even through the obverse is missing half of the denticulation, with all devices fully outlined and bold. Maris 63-s is one of the more frequently encountered die pairings in the New Jersey copper series, this lovely VF particularly well suited for type purposes or as an entry level piece for the variety collector. PCGS# 509. NGC ID: 2B4P. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
